What exactly does R mean outside kindergarten?
It's a programming language used primarily in data analysis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(programming_language)
OIC ok
The (or 'A') new killer language, ir so I have heard.
It neatly brings together a lot of optimisations (like template metaprogramming in C++ which brings optimisation and compiletime checks together, but is maniacly difficult to use In C++ IMO.) and seems easy to use after a quick check.
We'll see, primary logic usually doesn't prevail in those matters.
It's 30 years old so I'm not sure you could call it new ๐
Ouch ๐ค๐
Also, it's the GNU version of the 'S' language (kind of like Octave vis-ร -vis MATLAB). They only say they're largely compatible, as they ofc don't own S/MATLAB, but it's pretty much the same AFAIK, only that R is now much more popular than S.
