I'm sorry i opened my mouth. What is this witchcraft?
Think i'll stick with my object orientation
Yup, R is like a ******* love-child of Matlab and a normal programming language. Almost everything is a vector or matrix, so instead of looping through elements of a list, you do everything in one go. This reaps great performance advantages by exploiting highly optimised numerical algebra routines. Unintuative when you start out, but powerful once you get your head round the indexing syntax.
