Incanter: A Clojure-based R-like platform for statistical computing and graphics
Incanter is a Clojure-based platform designed for statistical computing and graphics, leveraging the capabilities of the JVM. It integrates various libraries for data processing and visualization, making statistical programming more accessible than in pure Java. The platform is inspired by previous Lisp-based statistical environments and offers a user-friendly interface for developers.
- ▪Incanter utilizes the Parallel Colt numerics library and the JFreeChart charting library for enhanced data processing and visualization.
- ▪Clojure's integration with Java simplifies the use of various libraries compared to R.
- ▪Users can easily get started with Incanter by downloading it or accessing the source code from GitHub.

Interactive, dynamic, functional statistical-programming on the JVM Incanter leverages both the power of Clojure, a dynamically-typed, functional programming language, and the rich set of libraries available on the JVM for accessing, processing, and visualizing data. At its core are the Parallel Colt numerics library, a multithreaded version of Colt, the JFreeChart charting library, the Processing visualization library, as well as several other Java and Clojure libraries. Clojure’s seamless integration with Java makes leveraging these libraries much simpler than is possible in R, and Incanter’s R-like semantics and interactive shell makes statistical programming much simpler than is possible in pure Java.
