‘Cause if it’s ever been done, anywhere, by anyone, someone’s done it in Java. Twice.
If only. If I could get something like Python's Numpy on the JVM, I'd be using Clojure on my current project(s).
- icey 17y agoI don't know how useful this is to you, but here is a list of Java numerics libraries (and assorted other information): http://math.nist.gov/javanumerics/ http://math.nist.gov/javanumerics/

- herdrick 17y agoI mean, "something as good".
- arohner 17y agoI don't know enough about numpy or the Java attempts, but have you seen Incanter? (http://github.com/liebke/incanter/tree/6ef7e36c285e9c50c89fd0e21aee9622c092bc96 http://github.com/liebke/incanter/tree/6ef7e36c285e9c50c89fd...) rhickey has also expressed interest in integrating fast numerical processing into clojure.
- jimbokun 17y agoWow, that looks potentially awesome. Certainly looks like it has the potential to compete with NumPy and R. Nice use of Clojure to tie together unrelated Java libraries with a useful syntax and REPL style exploration.
- swannodette 17y agoIt's always good to do your research before making a statement on a topic you might not have a complete picture of: Colt: http://acs.lbl.gov/~hoschek/colt/ http://acs.lbl.gov/~hoschek/colt/ Parallel Colt: http://sites.google.com/site/piotrwendykier/software/parallelcolt http://sites.google.com/site/piotrwendykier/software/paralle... There's been talk about integrating this functionality into Clojure. Incanter is an example of a project by someone who wanted to get primitive support for matrix math and has had quite a bit of success.
- herdrick 17y agoWow, Incanter looks great. I've got to look into this more. How do you know I don't do my research by making provocative statements on public fora?
- jimbokun 17y ago"How do you know I don't do my research by making provocative statements on public fora?" There is something to be said for that. I would not have thought to Google for "R-like interactive environment, built with Clojure and Java charting and numerics libraries." But now that I know it exists, I'm pretty excited about the possibilities.
