[R] Newbie Question on R versus Matlab/Octave versus C

Hi,

I recently learned of the existence of R through a physicist friend who
uses it in his research. I've used Octave for a decade, and C for 35
years, but would like to learn R. These all have advantages and
disadvantages for certain tasks, but as I'm new to R I hardly know how
to evaluate them. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
