>From the README:
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.
The design of R has been heavily influenced by two existing
languages: Becker, Chambers & Wilks' S and Sussman's Scheme.
Whereas the resulting language is very similar in appearance to S,
the underlying implementation and semantics are derived from Scheme.
