27 Sep 2020

On Sep 27th, 2020, Vijay Kiran, Teodor Heggelund, and Daniel Slutsky interviewed Anthony Khong.

We began with a short presentation about Geni -- a Clojure dataframe library that runs on Apache Spark. The name means "fire" in Javanese.

Then, the conversation evolved around more general subjects, such as Apache Spark in general, other projects by Anthony, and the Clojure data science ecosystem.

Note that Daniel's comment at 57:41 is wrong.

26 Apr 2020

Teodor Heggelund interviews Chris Nuernberger about his open source work in building the Clojure data science ecosystem. Tomasz Sulej and Daniel Slutsky joined the conversation too.
The interview took place on April 26th 2020, and the ecosystem has taken some huge steps of progress since then. Still, everything in this conversation is very much relevant to understanding Chris' view and the core principles and goals of his work.

You are encouraged to explore more:

* https://github.com/techascent/tech.datatype by Chris is a Clojure library for efficient N-dimensional numerics across a range of primitive datatypes and a range of container types.

* https://github.com/techascent/tech.ml.dataset by Chris is a Clojure library for data processing and machine learning.
* https://github.com/scicloj/tablecloth by Tomasz is an additional API wrapping tech.ml.dataset.

* https://clojurians.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/236259-tech.2Eml.2Edataset.2Edev is the relevant stream to discuss these in the Clojurians Zulip chat.
* https://clojurians.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/151924-data-science is the relevant stream for broader discussions of data science in Clojure.

Interviewed by Alan Marazzi, Ethan Zane Miller and Vijay Kiran on 30th June 2019

We will have more of this kind. The idea is to allow people to share their workflows, working with data. It is not about the perfect toolset and practices, but about the search for those.

* If you have any experiments and insights about the way you deal with code, editing, data, dataflow, data-visualization – then let us interview you about it.

* If you wish to help as an interviewer, that would be great, too.

The scicloj-tutorials stream at the Clojurians Zulip is a good place to talk about that.
