Is it conceivable that Julia could be ported to use R syntax in a way that would allow the vastly larger numbers of R programmers to seamlessly switch? Or equivalently, could an iteration of R itself do this?

But you can easily fall back to R from within Julia; see http://juliastats.github.io/RCall.jl/latest/ On Aug 5, 2016 1:27 PM, "Hadley Wickham" <h.wickham at gmail.com> wrote: > No. > > Hadley > > On Fri, Aug 5, 2016 at 11:12 AM, Kenny Bell <kmbell56 at gmail.com> wrote: > > Is it conceivable that Julia could be ported to use R syntax in a way > that

When it was being actively worked on, it had the advantage of existing.

I came across a quite interesting post from Ross Ihaka, thought would be good to share it and get the opinion of folks around here. I am not sure where to post this for the R community but since it has to do with development I thought or R-devel Ross Ihaka Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp From: Ross Ihaka <ih... at stat.auckland.ac.nz> Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2008 10:35:26 +1300 Local: Tues, Jan 22

It does look like Gentleman and Ihaka not only lied to the New York Times, but also to the New Zealand Herald and who knows who else. This is disgusting. The R programming language is the S programming language, and Gentleman and Ihaka are not the ones who designed it. http://thenewyorktimesissloppy.blogspot.com/

Hello all, There is currently a (very !) lively discussions happening around the web, surrounding the following topics: 1) Is R efficient? (scripting wise, and performance wise) 2) Should R be written from scratch? 3) What should be the license of R (if it was made a new)? Very serious people have taken part in the debates so far. I hope to let you know of the places I came by, so you might be

I know Matlab's M file can be converted to a stand-alone executable file. I wonder if there is a project aimed at compiling R scripts into stand-alone executable file. I think it will be very promising for R to be more widely used in different fields. -- View this message in context:

Thanks to everyone who has responded (esp. Michael, I greatly appreciate but also recognize that getting R on my machine is not your career). Your last response was (basically) uninstall, reboot, retry Synaptic, if no good try: judson at judson:~$ sudo wget http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/hardy/r-base-core_2.9.0-2hardy0_i386.deb I GOT --15:03:02--

My appologies, this estimation is about right, I spent last week at COMPSTAT in prague and didn't follow the list closely. Inspite of this fact I believe my posting is not entirely out of date. regards Diman Todorov ------------------------------ You are 8 days behind the times -- take a look at the current R-devel.

I don't mind using sudo apt-get update/upgrade/install buit I get into crazy loops (hours) that clearly can't be trusted. But when I use Synaptic (reload/mark for install R-base) every time I get some list of things things it want to install as well and syas "Mark" which it does not do and when I go forward with the Synaptic install of R-base I get this (and abort) every time:

Hi, haven't been here for a while, but everyone one was always so helpful I thought I would ask you another really basic question. I'm running R2.9.1 in Ubuntu8.04 on a netbook (maxed out on memory etc so I don't think that's a problem - wth it's a Dell Mini 9" with that lpia non-architecture you told me about). Anyway, some of the graphics functions/parameters are

In their paper, "Lexical Scope and Statistical Computing", the authors ( Gentleman and Ihaka ) go to great length explaining why R's use of lexical scoping creates advantages when doing statistical computations. If anyone has or is familiar with this paper, could they provide the main program code for how the "newton" function would be called in their example on page 500

Hi, I've actually run R quite a bit in Windows. I've had a release 8.04 of Ubuntu running a laptop for 3 days now. After struggling for much of that time to install R, I finally figured out that Dell shipped with the sources.list obsolete or just plain wrong. So I finally got it installed last night (for some reason v2.6.2, not v2.9.x). This morning I was able to download and install

Dear r-devel, I have implemented a function to create color palettes with improved contrast and logical order, compared with the built-in ones: source("arni.colors.R") # code is given below barplot(rep(1,100), col=arni.colors(100), space=0, border=0, axes=F) par(mfrow=c(2,1)) # rainbow() has too much green... barplot(rep(1,50), col=rev(rainbow(50,end=0.7)), space=0, border=0,

Hi Lisp users, I'm a user of both Common Lisp and R (GNU R). I found R has a rich collection of statistical and numerical computation functions, while it is not as extensible as Lisp (Common Lisp). I considered Lisp-Stat but its only implementation is not in the usuall Common Lisp, and the available functions in CRAN are far richer than Lisp-Stat currently has. I want to know if there is
