How does python put up with R in terms of statistics and machine learning?

http://status.clojars.org/incidents/pdpppjllmjff

@crocket: in my experience, R has a more mature and robust quantitative ecosystem, but python has good packages as well in addition to being easier to learn/read/generally more of a pleasure to work with

although, probs slower

Is http-kit the chosen package for making network requests?

if so, then how do I install/use it?

wrong room I think

#C053AK3F9 might be the way to go.

@griesmey: if you mean "a http client" by that it's one option, but there's also aleph or clj-http. http-kit is good, but it's less maintained these days. Also yeah, #C053AK3F9 or #C03S1KBA2 would be good channels probably.

cool

how do I install packages?

Is http://clojars.org down?

I’ve checked downforeveryone and it says yes

@joetague: yes: http://status.clojars.org/incidents/pdpppjllmjff

@tcrawley: thanks

Anyone happen to know of any details wrt EuroClojure 2016?

I guess that's a bit too early to contemplate that. It's half a year away after all.

I hope it'll be closer to Poland this time. It was awesome I could take part in it when it was in Kraków. And then Barcelona next year...

That was too far and too expensive for me at the time : |

You have LambdaDays in Poland in a few weeks, don't get greedy 😛

And Polyconf ; d

I don't ask for the next EuroClojure to be in Poland again, mind you. Just not the whole other end of the continent ; d

I wouldn't mind Netherlands or something; that's relatively close.

@nano: still undetermined although we are making progress on that

cool, thanks.

quick question. i’m new to clojurians. where would be the right place to announce a project not implemented in clojure but related ? for example: i want to release a c++ port of the clojure api. it’s something that came out of a private project of mine, but i think it might have some value for other people

#C03RZGPG3 could be a good guess?

that’s what i figured. thanks

@jkrueger: You could also post something in #C06MAR553 .

@meow: will do. i just wanted to make sure that i’m not schmutzing up some place

@jkrueger: Trust me. I already did that. Bull in a china shop style, FTW. 😇 👽

got it :simple_smile:
