R is a system for statistical computation and graphics.
It consists of a language plus a run-time environment with graphics, a debugger, access to certain system functions, and the ability to run programs stored in script files. Whereas the resulting language is very similar in appearance to S, the underlying implementation and semantics are derived from Scheme. In addition, a large group of individuals has contributed to R by sending code and bug reports. The group currently consists of Doug Bates, Peter Dalgaard, Robert Gentleman, Kurt Hornik, Ross Ihaka, Friedrich Leisch, Thomas Lumley, Martin Maechler, Guido Masarotto, Paul Murrell, Brian Ripley, Heiner Schwarte, and Luke Tierney.
