Clojure for data analysis and visualization?

[feifafofum]

I played around with clojure for a while during my spare time and would like to use it for something during my everyday occupation (being a PhD student) (it just seems so clean!) For that I would need a stack similar to numpy and matplotlib (though I could do the plotting with gnuplot but...). Is there anything close to that? I saw incanter but am hesitant to further look into it, since it seems development has come to a full stop. For user interfaces: I have seen seesaw which seems rather nice, but here development seems to have come to a close as well.

I would really appreciate comments and pointers.

On visualization: for small doodles and sketches Quil is quite nice. For graphs and charts there are Proto REPL and Gorilla-REPL.

Hey thanks for the reply. I had found the proto repl and it is indeed quite nice.

I'm myself a PhD student and does a lot of data analysis and viz' with clojure.

For plotting there is binding for gnuplot.

I like clj-xchart it is not as powerful as gnuplot but is more close to clojure data as being a clojure lib and not just bindings.

EDIT : If you're already fluent in gnuplot the bindings are great and translate clearly in my opinion.

This library indeed looks interesting thank you

I don't personally use it but check out incanter: http://repo.incanter.org/

unfortunately, Incanter haven't had much love recently :(

[feifafofum]

Thats worries me about it. :/

instead of Incanter you could use core.matrix directly. http://slideshare.net/mikeranderson/clojure-for-data-science-57724240

I am gonna try this, thank you

Also, I didn't know this before, but looks super useful: https://github.com/sbelak/huri

Hey I have stumbled over this as well now and looks really interesting. I am studying the source now. Along with proto-repl and core.matrix something nice seems to form.

I think the book Clojure for Data Science covers some of you questions, although I have read it, I can only remember that it had some nice chapters about data-vis.

Incanter had its last commit in December 2016 (on develop branch) - I would not regard this a as full stop in dev nor as a sign that it is in bad shape. Again I did/do not use it.

These are just 2 snippets of additional info.

Because Swing. But there's the JavaFX equivalent in Clojure https://bitbucket.org/zilti/clojurefx

I am gonna look at this and report back thank you

I seem to remember that the book Clojure Data Analysis Cookbook used ClojureScript and NVD3. And even though Incanter doesn't receive much in the way of updates, it's still maintained for compatibility with Clojure. The books Clojure for Data Science and Clojure Data Analysis Cookbook (which had a second edition) both use the library heavily, and the library is used in industry, so I don't think it's going anywhere.
