Has anyone else had a hard time with R? I felt like the fundamental data unit (forget what it’s called) didn’t have any rules. Sometimes you can index it. Sometimes you can’t. It felt strange to me. Also I found Perl really hard because there was just too much to memorize. I couldn’t get into a flow. I like something like python (2.4 and lower) where the whole language could fit in your head after a quick read of the docs.
