Best wishes for the new role!

Eventually, it may be a good idea to try both Clojure and Python.

Personally I find Clojure's approach towards data very refreshing. It does require an open mind and a mindset different than usual. Eventually, this can bring joy, simplicity and power.

This article by Chris Nuernberger nicely explains what it is about: https://cljdoc.org/d/cnuernber/libpython-clj/1.2/doc/so-many...

Clojure's community is certainly smaller than Python's, but some say it is very friendly.

Below are some beginner-friendly places to chat about it. If you wish, let us chat there, dive into the details, and think how you could begin exploring.

Clojurians Zulip https://clojurians.zulipchat.com and especially the data-science stream: https://clojurians.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/151924-data-...

Also SciCloj meetups: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaoZzhNzq-H7YiQczXKuXuw

Thanks for the links! I like the idea of a changed mindset. That sort of thing can be useful in and of itself as an educational exercise.

By the way, we are having a Clojure data science public meeting at the end of this month: https://twitter.com/scicloj/status/1291845872884625408

We will assume some basic knowledge of Clojure, but I guess it may be interesting to join anyway.

Interesting! Appreciate the info
