Scicloj is a Clojure community for data science. It’s awesome!
My opinion:
Learnability comes first. Someone must be able to learn something.
Discoverability second. If there is nice stuff around but nobody can find it, there’s not much value provided to the ecosystem as a whole.
Cohesion third. Most people look to the Python ecosystem for data science. Why? Data science with Python is learnable and discoverable. There are plenty of resources available. Data science work with Python often leverages SciPy. SciPy is also awesome. SciPy provides a cohesive entrypoint to Python data science.
Scicloj already has an answer to “how can I help?”: Scicloj.org — Getting involved.

- where we
simply rewrite a link to the target we want. This enables us to enrich
internal links and provide a light mechanism for enriching
“remote” entities. And it ensures that “everything is still a
page”.Aaaand we return to where we started: https://github.com/scicloj/scicloj.github.io/issues/58
Good user interface to explore available libraries
If sc-dbx is going to be of any value, there needs to be:
