You’re preaching to the choir here.

I’d love to see a data science community around Racket in particular. In fact, you can do quite a lot in Racket today, just with not nearly the libraries and tooling as Python or R.

But as a consolation prize, R is pretty Schemey, and has the best collection of libraries for data around. It’s been a dream for years to figure out a way of making use of more of R from Racket, but time and deadlines keep getting in the way.




I searched and I can't find it but someone was trying to implement R inside of Racket.

Personally I really want a language just for cleaning data in Racket first and then tidyverse.


Have you seen this package yet? http://alex-hhh.github.io/2018/08/racket-data-frame-package....

I think it could be the starting point for some data science work in Racket.


Thank you so for finding that. It is a totally different project but further along then the one I was following a few years ago.
