I wonder what disagreements or counterarguments downvoters might have, and if they might share them.

For the parent, given what you've observed, do you still go to R for data crunching, or have you found anything in Clojure land that measures up?

R. Or a mixed approach, with Clojure for data preprocessing and R for the analysis proper. Case in point: I wrote the Clojure scraping library, Skyscraper [1], and made it output CSV by default so as to be able to easily drop the resulting files to R.

For statistics, Clojure has Incanter, but it's very basic in comparison. There are easily usable Java libraries for certain tasks (MALLET comes to mind), but these are few and far between.
