32 bit integers or not, that's a bit tangential to R's dominance as a statistical language. I work in population-level genomics and haven't found this to be a problem (yet?). Furthermore, what's wrong with the package system? That's one of R's strengths. I honestly find it far superior to python's 10 different solutions, none of which really work in a foolproof manner (and I use both languages daily).
