> I think once it hits v1.0, we'll begin to see a lot more companies adopting its usage for data science, statistics, and machine learning.

I don't. It doesn't have the incumbency of R, the use in other areas of programming of Python, or a company actively marketing it like MATLAB. It's not 5x or 10x or whatever good enough than the alternatives to assert itself in the playing field.

If it means you get your work done using it, be all means use it. But I think it will stay around clojure levels of use in data science, statistics, and machine learning.
