Would be even nicer if the actual R code was given. I know - easy for me to say 🙂

Why do you need R code when you have clojisr 🙂

It would give a 'better' comparison for those who use R

no problem then, I will add it soon.

done! 🙂

Is there identical performance?

No. Reading table from net Clojure is 4x slower. Filtering 10+ times slower.

Chris is investigating this now.

data.table is mighty fast, so approx performance would be incredible

my understanding is that a lot of work went into making fread so good

Also it is C based. Anyway my experience with tech.ml.database is good. flights has 250k rows.

take a look at http://system76.com ?

Desktop or laptop? I've had a pretty good time with my Lenovo Carbon X1. The Dell XPS series look pretty tempting too though, and some of them you can actually get to ship with Ubuntu (or at least used to be able to).

For laptops, none of the system76 seemed to strike the right balance to me for power + portability. I have one of their desktops though, from years ago now, and it served me pretty well.

I am loving my 2nd Gen Lenovo extreme workstation, it has been well worth the investment. It feels like I can run all ther repl's in the world. https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/X1-Extreme-Gen-2/p/22TP2TXX1E2

I was thinking desktop. I've been pretty happy with Dell laptops but was wondering if I could get more quack for my quid with a desktop

@U0525KG62 take a look at the Thinkpad P series desktops, the P330 and P330 Tiny can be configured as performant as you want (can afford). I was very tempted to get the P330 Tiny, its amazing what you can fit in there, but would cost a little more than the P330 standard size desktop https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/workstations/#viewprodfragment
