in thread Data Mining with Perl

Perl lacks the heavy duty statistical analysis tools that are needed to do really good data mining.

I knew of one commercial data mining system that was written in Smalltalk, which also lacks heavy duty statistical analysis tools. That didn't stop people from building them.

P.S. I'm agreeing with jepri here, in case that's unclear.

    Some Friday afternoon doggerel, by way of apology to dws for completely and utterly misinterpreting what he meant:

    I am the very model of a modern perlmonks posting troll,
    with arguements both scathing and totally irrational,
    I never stop to think the true intent of things I hear,
    All this cyber culture is just way to much for me to bear.

    Except that doesn't scan. Bugger.
