hey guys, i had asked this over in the general clojure channel before i realized this channel existed...does anyone know of any good resources for learning data science in clojure? obviously core.matrix/incanter.

ive started playing around with spark/sparkling as well - im coming from a programming background, but trying to learn more about data science. most of the MOOC/online resources focus on python/r/julia

@jstokes: data science is really just a side interest of mine, and I'm new to Clojure, but I've done a lot with Python and I agree that it (and R and Julia) seem to have the lion's share of tools for this, which is kind of a shame since clojure is so darn awesome

i’m fairly new to clojure as well, it just seems like such a good fit for data exploration and leveraging some of these high powered jvm frameworks - the company im at is looking heavily into spark

even if you have to fall back to some other language for specific tools, learning clojure will change how you think about things, in a good way

ah definitely.. ive been using scala for the past couple of years, but i strongly prefer the clojure simplicity approach to functional programming

what is the timeline on incanter 2.0 ?

when can we expect a fully working incanter implementation that uses core.matrix?
