Talk: Data Science on Clojure

Soren Macbeth's talk at Clojure/West is about data crunching in Clojure.

Background

Clojure's prowess in the world of data and distributed systems is pretty awesome. This talk is about two open source libraries for crunching lots of data in Clojure. One is called marceline, the other is flambo. Both are wrappers for distributed computation libraries. For background, you may want to watch a talk by Nathan Marz on Storm.

This post is one of a series called Pre-West Prep, which is also published by email. It's all about getting ready for the upcoming Clojure/West, organized by Cognitect. Conferences are ongoing conversations and explorations. Speakers discuss trends, best practices, and the future by drawing on the rich context built up in past conferences and other media.

That rich context is what Pre-West Prep is about. I want to enhance everyone's experience at the conference by surfacing that context. With just a little homework, we can be better prepared to understand and enjoy the talks and the hallway conversations.

Clojure/West is a conference organized and hosted by Cognitect. This information is in no way official. It is not sponsored by nor affiliated with Clojure/West or Cognitect. It is simply me (and helpers) curating and organizing public information about the conference.
