The source code designed to accompany the workshop "Exploring Data With Clojure" for LambdaJam 2015.
Clojure is a great tool for exploring and analyzing data
- Being based on the JVM, Clojure has access to a wealth of libraries
- Being based on the JVM, Clojure has access to a wealth of distributed computing and tuning tools
- The REPL allows for testing code as it is written and exploring the data
- Boot allows you to create simple scripts
As of right now, load up the files in your favorite Editor + REPL, and have fun.
I'd personally recommend Emacs, Cursive (an Intellij plugin), or NightCode
Random suggestions to ease your development
For exploring data, I'd also recommend editing your Leiningen profile,
located at ~/.lein/profiles.clj to include a dependency on [alembic "0.3.2"]
This way, if you're ever in a REPL and want to add another library, you can run
(use '[alembic.still])
(alembic.still/distill '[new.library "0.0.1"])
Or you can edit your project.clj file, and run
(use '[alembic.still])
(alembic.still/load-project)
to reload the Leiningen project
Running
(use 'clojure.repl)
will give you access to all of the functions in the clojure.repl namespace, notably doc, which will print out documentation related to a function.
