Probably there aren't legitimate semantic or syntactic similarities between the three.
But for proposes of a TL;DR, I believe that a qualitative description of the situation should suffice.
I'll try again:
TL;DR: The language R lacks the quality without a name.
Or:
Jeeze, now I know why none of my previous attempts to learn a little R were fruitful.
Or:
The language R seems to have been developed in isolation and thus it fails to adhere to any particular convention--it is its own beast. Further, it sometimes lacks self-referential integrity and coherence.
Or:
haha cf. PHP or Excel.
:)
- nkurz 12y agoI voted you up here because you were below zero and I was also about to post a comment comparing R to PHP, but I'll mention that I frequently downvote one line posts that start with "TL;DR". The concept of "too long didn't read" implies (to me, and probably others) that that the article isn't worth reading. If I think the article is worth reading, and the short comment isn't incredibly insightful, I'd usually prefer such comments to be at the bottom of the page and grayed out.
- daveloyall 12y agoOh, I hadn't considered "too long, DON'T read". Hm. This article is worth reading if you're interested in R but not yet well acquainted with it.
