Ask HN: Strong typed language for data analysis?
Seems that the languages used for data analysis are all interpreted: R Python Matlab / Octave
Are there strong type languages used for data analysis? Bonus points if it uses vectorization ala matlab.
I don't personally use it for that purpose, but Scala has some traction in data science. E.g. from a quick Google search:

Java has a nontrivial number of modeling/statistics/analytic libraries and frameworks. This would suggests some adoption at least in some circles. Though I'd suspect workflow is a little different for interpreters and Java in this space, i.e. interactive vs non-interactive.
F# maybe?
