Clojure vs. MXNet vs. NLTK vs. Python Comparison Chart

Clojure is a robust, practical, and fast programming language with a set of useful features that together form a simple, coherent, and powerful tool. Clojure is a dynamic, general-purpose programming language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is a compiled language, yet remains completely dynamic, every feature supported by Clojure is supported at runtime. Clojure provides easy access to the Java frameworks, with optional type hints and type inference, to ensure that calls to Java can avoid reflection. Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system. Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures. When a mutable state is needed, Clojure offers a software transactional memory system and reactive Agent system.

The Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) is a comprehensive, open source Python library designed for human language data processing. It offers user-friendly interfaces to over 50 corpora and lexical resources, such as WordNet, along with a suite of text processing libraries for tasks including classification, tokenization, stemming, tagging, parsing, and semantic reasoning. NLTK also provides wrappers for industrial-strength NLP libraries and maintains an active discussion forum. Accompanied by a hands-on guide that introduces programming fundamentals alongside computational linguistics topics, and comprehensive API documentation, NLTK is suitable for linguists, engineers, students, educators, researchers, and industry professionals. It is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms. Notably, NLTK is a free, community-driven project.
