I agree about the awesome range of libraries for Python. But, in Clojure, doesn't access to the all the JVM libraries make up for this?

xaa on March 7, 2013 [–]

No, because JVM numeric libraries are awful, and, because the Clojure community leans toward things like web development instead of scientific computing, there are seldom Clojure wrappers available for them. Incanter, for example, isn't even maintained anymore.

It is a shame, because Clojure is a better language.
