## What it is
Incanter is a Clojure-based, R-like statistical computing and graphics environment for the JVM. It provides statistical functions, matrix/linear algebra, data manipulation, and charting, built on Parallel Colt, JFreeChart, and Processing.

## Use cases
- statistical computing in Clojure
- plot charts from data on the JVM
- do linear algebra and matrix math
- interactive data analysis like R but in Lisp
- embed statistics libraries in a JVM analytics app
- manipulate datasets functionally

## When to choose
- you work in Clojure and need R-like statistics and plotting
- you want JVM performance with interactive statistical programming
- you need to embed statistical analysis in a larger JVM application

## When to avoid
- you need cutting-edge machine learning or deep learning tooling
- you prefer Python's pandas/scipy ecosystem
- you need a project with frequent updates and active community

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-science, data-visualization, math, charts
- domain: data-science, data-visualization, mathematics
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: clojure, statistics, r-like, linear-algebra, jfreechart, colt
