This means that, if we need to read some data, we will have to do it over and over again. If the dataset is large, the program takes more time to start.

So it is hard to interact with data and this makes EDA more difficult in Java than in other languages. In particular, Read-Evaluate-Print Loop (REPL), an interactive shell, is quite an important feature for doing EDA.
