Sure, I agree. I'm just saying that whoever would like to see whatever, they'll have to commit some work or money into making it happen, or change their preferences to other stuff :). For example, if someone is a programmer who would like to learn ML to be able to land a better job, and this

Yes, if you have a 'product' perspective, but others will have a service provider perspective and would like to see employers committed to Clojure and looking to engage with practitioners.+ On Sunday, March 26, 2017 at 4:49:45 AM UTC+11, Dragan Djuric wrote: > > > Isn't it advantageous in some

Clojure offers full support for GPU computing. See http://clojurecl.uncomplicate.org, as far as I know, Python doesn't have so well integrated GPU programming. It also supports full high-performance CPU acceleration. Also, although Neanderthal (http://neanderthal.uncomplicate.org) is not yet

Is Clojure so great at AI, ML, NLP and concurrent programming? It seems to me the libraries are lacking. I also know there's a race for performance, and it looks like CPU parallelization isn't even fast enough, so distributed or GPU based solutions are being built, which I'm also not sure

But why is it bad news if your competition don't use the best tool available (if it is true, of course)? I consider it a competitive advantage. On the other hand, it is perfectly clear why everyone uses Python for ML and (almost) nobody uses Clojure: 1) All serious literature is in Python.

You can avoid conflicts. The ns you start executing in dev may exist only on the dev source-paths, and when it configures the rest of your program (putting functions in closure and whatnot) it can do so drawing from stuff that's only going to be available in the dev profile. Then when you build
