We're working on porting our monolithic apps though, now that 20 years later, the software development technology has finally caught up with the marvels of the legendary VB6 ...

Dispite the fact that this language built MS into a global powerhouse.

(the story in short: the company looked for the next development platform and went for MS. MS invited us to it's DNA Lab and interview us about the project. At the end they told the Visual Basic 6.0 - then new - is the best tool and made a demo. The PM/Owner liked the idea, so went home to blood, sweat, and tears....)

I was asked to assist a non-programmer doing some research and using 'R' to debug his program. I managed to persuade everyone that he would be better off doing it himself. It had so much overhead in setting up, getting permissions, etc. that any time I saved him would be wasted. Luckily, they believed the b*llsh*t, took the bait and let me off the project. Phew! That was a close call. - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

The pun was intended but not a lucky one, I guess I have used it and den2k8827-Jan-19 22:59 den2k88 27-Jan-19 22:59  the runtime sucks. It's slow, it crashes, it's awfully documented and its own examples won't run or will run with different results (especially the graph routines). If I have to choose I prefer paying for a Matlab license - it's the industry standard in many fields, it's faster, it's maintained, it has a large community of users and a large repository of add-ons. Professionally, "you get what you pay for" marks the difference between a proper tool and R. ADD: it sucks to the point that in two hours I could reach the desired result with Excel where it failed for two days straight on R... and I'm *not* a proficient Excel user.

It is like a academic toy to play around, not really usable for professional purposes. Missing answer: What the elephant is the R programming language?
