People say that, but I'd prefer the actual LISP syntax then (being a fan of xlispstat back in the day). I'm surprised nobody has created a "Lisp-flavored R" analogous to Erlang's LFE or Python's Hy.
- hadley 10y agoMost R users aren't programmers, and a LISP-y interface, while powerful, tends to be intimidating.
