In the past few years I have seen some serious efforts from the Clojure community to make Clojure more attractive for data science. Check out the Scicloj[1] group and their data science stack/toolkit Noj[2] (still in beta) as well as the high-performance tabular data processing library tech.ml.dataset (TMD)[3].

What's worth emphasizing is that you're not marrying in to an ecosystem of libs. There are a lot of separate pieces that you can typically use separately. I do climate data work without most of Scicloj's tools, but I do use tech.ml.dataset extensively
