This comparison isn't very good. He is basically dinging Python for setting up some pretty basic functions like ireduce(). Wouldn't you do the same in Clojure if something didn't exist? If its just about have short code, I would suggest the line 'import numpy'. Also for the concurrency parts, if you are talking strictly about the languages and not their implementation, why not compare Jython to Clojure?

Because then the comparison would come out less in favour of clojure ? Because the author isn't aware of jython ? It could be anything really, but if you plan on putting down a language I guess you're not going to go out of your way to create a level playingfield. Let's compare interpreted basic with compiled C for an encore.

> He is basically dinging Python for setting up some pretty basic functions like ireduce() I don't get it. plain "reduce" already works on any iterable.
