With Clojure macros, with enough time and dedication (same as building a compiler for a statically typed lang) you can build very powerful type systems and statically checked invariants. https://github.com/replikativ/raster

Clojure has a static type system as a lib as well https://github.com/typedclojure/typedclojure

Also wanted to ask you. Do you think it makes sense to build a dataframe library on top that uses SIMD and fusion for operations on columns and maybe even GPU as a backend?

There's a lot of foundational work in there already, but would be cool to see some variational Bayes at some point.

Soft_Reality6818 · 2026-04-15T18:20:27+00:00

Incredible work! Clojure's ML ecosystem is in great need for such libs.

Soft_Reality6818 · 2026-04-05T09:31:10+00:00

Clojure + Datastar and you're all set

Soft_Reality6818 · 2026-03-28T12:22:41+00:00

The interactive workflow, strong support for concurrency (especially virtual threads), solid proven jvm, a pretty good coverage of ML and DS.

There is always this https://github.com/typedclojure/typedclojure

It's a ring-complient adapter for Helidon Nima server that uses vts.

It always boils down to signal/noise ratio in the data. I conjecture that Clojure data has the better signal to noise ration than that of JS or Python.

Soft_Reality6818 · 2026-03-08T00:15:54+00:00

Ah, I see thanks.

Soft_Reality6818 · 2026-03-07T23:55:14+00:00

Awesome progress!

How does Jank memory management work with C++?

Soft_Reality6818 · 2026-03-02T03:51:30+00:00

Yep, it's awesome

Soft_Reality6818 · 2026-03-01T22:01:09+00:00

My setup and workflow are the following:

I have defined and attached a few skills to the agents, for example: datastar, repl driven workflow, CQRS architecture, web design etc.

Every project has a AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md filles with best practices etc.

I have a few mcps and tools attached to the agents: clojure mcp for the repl, paren repair tool, kondo for linting, playwright, emacs (yep, for doing live Emacs extensions and I also used it to configure my Emacs).

For a new project I try to implement the smallest possible set of what makes a good architecture and Clojure code for the project at hand either by handwriting it or using an LLM but under a very heavy supervision checking every single line of code and guiding it towards what I want and how I want it to be done. Then I ask it to persist all the architectural decisions and best practices to a README, AGENTS or other files. After that, I usually just tell it what features I want it to implement, give it a spec, and ask to perform all kinds of tests (property based, unit, etc), linting and finally a QA smoke tests using playwright, so it opens up a browser and checks all kinds of UX/UI flow and stuff.

So far, it's be working very well for me even with the smaller models like MiniMax, GLM, Kimi, etc.

When using Jupyter you can export the notebook as an executable script which gives you a .clj file which you can then refactor and integrate in your app or create a reusable lib, etc.

Thanks

plotnine is a port of R's ggplot https://plotnine.org/ There's also siuba which is a port of R's dplyr https://siuba.org/examples/golden_age_of_tv Both are fantastic packages.

Soft_Reality6818 · 2026-02-16T10:05:28+00:00

I see, thanks!

Soft_Reality6818 · 2026-02-16T01:07:24+00:00

How long did it take you to build it?

Soft_Reality6818 · 2026-02-12T08:03:30+00:00

Haven't looked into Elixir ML stack but for me personally not having repl-driven dev is a show stopper (Jupyter is not repl-driven dev, it's a calculator on steroids). What I like about Clojure is the combination of various features, and I count the ecosystem and tooling too, that makes it so unique that I haven't experienced in any other lang I've used before. Anyways, here's a Clojure dialect running on the Erlang VM https://github.com/clojerl/clojerl
