I don’t really want Java as a data science language, but Scala would be a perfect fit. There’s already a nice data frame library that I helped develop at my old company called Saddle. Now we just need some quant finance libraries (like the excellent zip line, pyfolio, and alpha lens), some industrial NNs, optimization libs (like cvxpy), and something like scipy. Is this ever going to happen? Probably not, but a man can dream..
