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