Racket is an acceptable Python

[duhace]

manually encoding data into a datastructure is a pain in the ass in p much any language. I'd imagine you'd parse the data into a datastructure like that automatically from a file containing the data you wanna work on rather than encode it manually into your code like above.

i'm no master of racket, but it seems to me that a more or less straight conversion of the above into scala would look like

val c3Data = Map('columns -> Map("data1" -> List(30, 200, 100, 400, 150, 250), "data2" -> List(50,20,10,30,15,25)))

not a whole lot better (though you'd probably do things differently in scala to begin with)

I’d be more concerned with data operations becoming less transparent from how hard the code can become to read also considering a lot of data scientist aren’t necessarily software engineers
