Yeah, took me a little while.
I have R installed and it's interesting to play with. It's a misnomer
to call it a language though. It's really a complete environment that
draws charts, graphs, applies coloration, interesting stuff. I may end
up using RapidMiner - also Open Source but I think it's not in portage
- as it's more of a GUI environment vs R which is sort of command line
driven.
