Very good talk about Geni from its creator: finally someone has built a very good #Clojure wrapper/DSL around Spark that just works and makes it painless to start fidgeting around with a REPL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R2FJQdtLf8

A recommender system in 30 lines of #Clojure https://findka.com/blog/rec-sys-in-30-lines/

I'm getting so used to the fact that #Clojure libraries come with a rationale that now I can't evaluate libraries for other languages without one.

This is annoying in a very weird way...

This is basically an implementation of a simple decision tree in pure #Clojure

Have you ever wandered what some math symbols mean? Here I explain some of the most common ones in pure #clojure

Another fast-forward way to let anyone work with Italian #covid19 data and #clojure.

No worries, even if you're not Italian there's a mapping from Italian column names to English ones!

Get ready to analyze and work with #COVID19 data in mere minutes, thanks to #clojure

A very fast track to go from web data to a nice #clojure table:

I've found #Clojure "killer feature": in most languages you can either be elegant (e.g. Haskell) or productive (e.g. Python), rarely you can be both.

With #Clojure programming in an idiomatic way means being elegant and very productive at the same time

Some nice data wishes for #clojure

A wonderful love letter to #Clojure https://itrevolution.com/love-letter-to-clojure-part-1/

This is just to let you know that panthera.numpy (https://github.com/alanmarazzi/panthera/blob/master/src/panthera/numpy.clj) is actually a generic DSL for accessing and using EVERY #Python package (yes, even #TensorFlow on GPU) from #Clojure

Don't hesitate to ask me anything about it

I'm announcing panthera: a #Clojure wrapper around pandas and numpy for all your data sciencey work!

The library is still alpha, but there's already a lot of stuff to have fun with. So give it a run, if you like it star it and any kind of feedback is accepted!!!

I can't help it, after using the #Clojure REPL for so long I can't settle for almost anything else. Anytime I have to touch #Python the only way to have something similar is a Jupyter notebook, but then I hate notebooks...

Lucky enough now we can have the best of both worlds: Clojure expressivity & REPL + Python's boatload of machine learning libs! https://github.com/cnuernber/libpython-clj

Are we scientists yet?

A collection and a discussion of #Clojure libraries for #datascience

https://scicloj.github.io/posts/2019-01-21-clojure-scientists/

In 30 minutes join us for the second #scicloj gathering where Carin Meier will talk about MxNet and then we will have a discussion about all things #Clojure and #datascience https://zoom.us/meeting/register/8fe1402812d9d8fc34538d7d4481ef37

This is an Excel file intermediate representation in #Clojure in the library I'm developing

I'm pretty happy with the results so far!

About that Excel #Clojure library I'm creating: the unoptimized, glued together version is already ten times faster than a #Python solution!

If you happen to be into #datascience, #machinelearning and #Clojure (or if you'd like to learn more about the language) you have to check the completely revamped tech.ml stack! https://github.com/techascent/tech.ml
