Data Manipulation in Clojure Compared to R and Python
Summary
This post compares data manipulation workflows across Tablecloth (Clojure) and R, Python, and Polars, using the Palmer Penguins dataset. It provides code-style comparisons for reading data, basic exploration, column and row selection, sorting, transforming, and reshaping, highlighting the immutability and functional style of Tablecloth versus the mutability in Pandas. It serves as a practical translation guide for data scientists exploring multiple ecosystems.
