Hi All, Prasant and Aleksandr have been working all summer making Clojure even better for data science / numerical computing. On behalf of myself and my co-mentor Alex Ott I want to offer congratulations to them both for successfully completing their Google Summer of Code projects!
Thanks to Prasant, we now have full, idiomatic, linear algebra support for Clojure. The implementation (part of vectorz-clj) is pure JVM code - i.e. no need for native dependencies. In terms of performance, we are already competitive with many Java matrix implementations and with some further optimisation could easily be one of the fastest linear algebra libaries on the JVM. To see the results of Prasant's work, check out core.matrix, vectorz-clj and vectorz. https://github.com/mikera/core.matrix https://github.com/mikera/vectorz https://github.com/mikera/vectorz-clj Thanks to Aleksandr, we have completed the Incanter / core.matrix implementation work which will make it possible to use core.matrix implementations seamlessly within Incanter 2.0. You can use regular Clojure vectors (nested persistent vectors of numbers), vectorz-clj (pure JVM, double precision), Clatrix (native BLAS support) or any combination of these. There is also new, improved "Dataset" support which makes it possible to create custom dataset types by implementing some new dataset protocols. To see the results of Aleksandr's work, check out Incanter, Clatrix and core.matrix https://github.com/incanter/incanter https://github.com/tel/clatrix/commits/master https://github.com/mikera/core.matrix Taken together, these projects represent a significant step towards making Clojure a leading language for data science and analytics.
