Good luck spending thousands of man-years reimplementing all of statistics and numeric computing in Scala.

- cema 15y agoBut how about reimplementing R in Scala? Or, better yet, in Clojure? The best of both worlds.
- icey 15y agoI'm sure you're already aware of this, but just in case: http://incanter.org/ http://incanter.org/
- cema 15y agoIndeed, Incanter is a famous project and for a while was one of the best showcases for Clojure. What it does is it implements some of the functionality of R in Clojure. What I am talking about is instead compiling R to Clojure (or Java runtime; there are portions of R projects implemented in C which may not map to Clojure efficiently). This way, the R community does not lose the extensive library of projects it has been producing for years.
