The R Programming Language

R is a free software programming language and a software environment for statistical computing and graphics. The R language is widely used among statisticians and data miners for developing statistical software[2][3] and data analysis.[3] Polls and surveys of data miners are showing R's popularity has increased substantially in recent years.[4][5][6]
R is an implementation of the S programming language combined with lexical scoping semantics inspired by Scheme. S was created by John Chambers while at Bell Labs. R was created by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman[7] at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, and now, R is developed by the R Development Core Team, of which Chambers is a member. R is named partly after the first names of the first two R authors (Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka), and partly as a play on the name of S.[8]
R is a GNU project.[9][10] The source code for the R software environment is written primarily in C, Fortran, and R.[11] R is freely available under the GNU General Public License, and pre-compiled binary versions are provided for various operating systems. R uses a command line interface; however, several graphical user interfaces are available for use with R.

Does /prog/ like R?

We hate everything except Lisp. We also hate Lisp for not being Lispy enough.

It's just a bunch of functions for statistics with an if statement and maybe a for.

>R is an implementation of the S programming language

it should be named t then

>R is a free software programming language and a software environment for ... graphics.

If you are going to have le fun meme image name tags, you should actually go the distance, and you know, make a userscript that converts images to base 65533, uploads them in unicode with a header, detects them in posts, and parses and displays them.
