Incanter is a "Clojure-based, R-like statistical computing and graphics environment for the JVM". Ready to replace R? I don't know, R has a lot of libraries. Worth a look? Definitely.

Colt (Parallel Colt, really) is what Incanter is built upon and it already has a lot of libraries. I suppose R has more, though.

However, there is no Incanter community yet - not even a mailing list. That matters.

OK, now there is a mailing list. http://groups.google.com/group/incanter/

One certainly could write an adapter layer to the R libs. I think the interfaces are pretty coarse-grained from what I recall.
