Haha, yes, I keep encountering your comments about R and Racket and have to do a double take to make sure you’re not me.

Would love to hear more about any data Racketeering you’re doing. I’ve been thinking of documenting up my wishlist for quanty things in Racket and maybe try implementing a data dsl in Racket.

I am thinking of doing a munging and data cleaning dsl and using OpenRefine as a way to implement the code. I really think that would be super handy for doing data cleaning.

A few people have done some R calls within Racket that is intresting.

Let me know if you feel like combining forces either for implementation or for imagineering :-)

EDIT: I also know there’s a data frame package called munger, though I it’s undocumented and likely incomplete.
