@tbaldridge there actually are open source shen implementations: http://www.shenlanguage.org/download_form.html

any clojurians around Seattle, WA?

there’s http://seajure.github.io/ - afaik that’s still alive?

Seajure still meets on the first Thursday of the month https://www.meetup.com/Seajure/

Does anyone know where to find a good list of companies in Boston hiring for summer internships

Hey I just discovered core.matrix and I’m blown away.

Am I the last to know about this?

Sooooooooo amazeballs.

@emccue I’ve had a couple of recruiters hit me up from time to time for a couple of places to go work in Boston specifically for Clojure work. I don’t remember what they were though (was having too much fun in my current job to consider it). Want me to go check and report back?

Yes, core.matrix is great. I'm in the process of trying to make it self-hosted ClojureScript compatible in order to include it in a blog post. I don't have much time to put into it atm though...

Oh, it only works for Clojure?

Nope, also ClojureScript but trying to use it with klipse didn't work out of the box

oh! that’s too bad.

@nickbauman I wouldn't refuse, but for sake of clarity i should put it in context that I am fairly (3ish months of messing around) new to clojure as a whole

nickbauman have you tried any other clojure matrix libs like vectorz-clj and neanderthal?

just curious about how they all compare

No. I just assumed everyone was using clojure wrapped around JBLAS.

I’m stupid that way.

http://jblas.org/

vectorz-clj is integrated with core.matrix - this is one of the really great things about core.matrix - it is protocol based and you can plug in these different backends. neanderthal is amazing, and there is at least an initial start of having it work with core.matrix

Interesting.

one odd thing about neanderthal is the owner is not so interested in core.matrix and in helping in any way with having neanderthal work seamlessly from it

wonder why

You can read various discussions on core.matrix github and on neanderthal github on this. It isn't really clear to me.

It sucks because it basically means you (joe/jane user) need to have two totally different code bases...

Meh. I would go with core.matrix. vectorz-clj is super fast.

I thought everyone just used Tensorflow + stochastic gradient descent. @nickbauman: what do you need a NLA lib for?

(from my reading, not experience)

@qqq statistical processing,

I’m doing a side project with my city’s crime stats.

There's also Incanter (R in clj) ? or is that dead?

R :vomit:

I felt the same way about Python until I realized "library support > language elegance"

numpy/tensorflow beats anything Java/Clj has to offer

Really? I’m using Pandas right now and I’d much rather be using Clojure for this. For no other reason than I have the assoc function available.

(and friends)

I completely agree that Clojure > HyLang, but I think (by evidence of using Pandas), we both agree that in the end, we pick based on "library support" rather than "langauge elegance"
