Data-recur meeting 7 - R4Clj 1: Introducing R and the Tidyverse

The data-recur group will have its next meeting on Jan 31st.
This will be a beginning of a series of meetups, where we introduce the R languages and its ecosystem to the Clojure crowd.
While Clojure already has an established collection of libraries for data science, it can be enlightening for Clojurians to learn about a different-but-similar language. A few of the Clojure data science libraries, such as Tablecloth and Tableplot, are explicitly inspired by R and its packages. To encourage additional inspiration of this kind, we will host a few meetings for the Clojure audience to discuss R and its relationship with Clojure.
