I found it fun to see division results returned as fractions. Has anyone here switched from Python to Clojure for data analysis? What has been their experience?

- spacemanaki 15y agoI haven't used it, but Incanter is a Clojure statistics and data analysis thing... http://incanter.org/ http://incanter.org/
- tomjen3 15y agoThat is because Lisp has fractions as a native datatype. You would get the same result in Common Lisp.
- gukjoon 15y agoNot recommended. Matrix multiplication is really slow, even with Incanter. I doubt you'll get very far with data analysis without multiplying a few matrices so avoid.
- rabidsnail 15y agoSlow compared to what? Numpy (or equivalent) or optimized fortran?

- gukjoon 15y agoYou know what? I realized that I didn't read the whole question. I switched from Octave, not Python. Oops.
- tel 15y agoI'm in the process right now. I didn't want to use Incanter since I don't like the kitchen sink reinvent R style, but there aren't any Clojure-esque matrix libraries around. You, flatly, gain the language advantages of Clojure but have absolutely none of the Numpy/Matlab/R-like environments.
