Statistical Graphics, ClojureScript, &c.
Summary
Kevin Lynagh discusses information design and why he thinks programmers suck at that, and how one can implement great data visualizations with Clojure and ClujureScript.
Bio
Kevin Lynagh visualizes data and makes statistical interfaces on the web. He has written enough JavaScript to be terribly excited about ClojureScript. Before Clojure he wrote machine learning and analytics tools in R and Scala. In 2010 he wrote a thesis on protein structure, for which Reed College inexplicably awarded him a physics degree.
