1 R is a language which bears a passing resemblance to the S language
2 developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories. It provides support for a
3 variety of statistical and graphical analyses. R is a true
4 computer language which contains a number of control-flow
5 constructions for iteration and alternation. It allows users to
6 add additional functionality by defining new functions. On
7 platforms which support the dlopen (3) interface, Fortran and C
8 code can be linked and called at run time.
10 R is very close to S in both syntax and semantics, but is not identical.
11 Whether this is a bug or feature is an open question.
