Clojure never got the data science crowd even though the language is genuinely good for it. Always felt like a distribution problem more than a technical one.

Unfortunately, having to mess around with a JVM is a tough sell for a lot of data analysis folks. I'm not saying it's rational or right, but a lot of people hear "JVM" and they go "no thank you". Personally I think it's a non-issue, but you have to meet people where they are.

I’ve built many different kinds of software (backend, frontend, 3D games, cli tools, code editor, and more) with Clojure and have been using it for over a decade now.

I can confidently say that, among the list I mentioned, it’s the best for data manipulation/transformation. Thanks to the author for presenting it clearly and showing how the libraries and code look across different languages, all of which do a great job.

But Clojure has its own special place (maybe in my heart as well :). I think Clojure should be used more in the data science space. Thanks to the JVM, it can be very performant (I’m looking at you, Python).

Good pandas and polars code should also be written in an immutable way...

Good python code can exist, but python makes it so easy to write bad code that good python rarely exists.

Agree. While it is common to see code like these pandas examples, it is very possible to write these manipulations so that they return a new frame or view without changing the inputs.
