    Also, you can look at breeze.generic.UFunc for an inspiration.

    You can use https://github.com/scalanlp/breeze. A Scala library that's sorta a numpy/plotting equivalent. Unlike Spark which covers more use cases than just the classic Data Science workflow, Breeze is built specifically for "Data Science in Scala". The drawback is a classic one in Scala land where some major libraries abruptly get abandoned. Breeze's commits seem to have slowed down significantly and their website on their github page www.scalanlp.org is broken.
  • Machine learning on JVM

    I haven't checked in on this project in a long time, but Breeze is something akin to NumPy/SciPy.
