ClojisR
ClojisR connects Clojure with R, providing a bridge for statistical work between the two languages.
About ClojisR
ClojisR is an open-source bridge for using R from JVM Clojure. It provides a function-centric API for calling R functions on R objects, represents R code as Clojure data with EDN-based syntax, and is designed for interop with minimal copying of data.
It connects to GNU R through Rserve, with basic support for plots, R Markdown and multi-session use, and partial compatibility with tech.ml.dataset datasets. Use requires Linux, macOS or WSL with JDK, Clojure, R and the Rserve package, and the project is described as still evolving.
