[Santosh Srinivas]

Not many really care about what it is called .... but here is what the page
says


R is `GNU S', a freely available language and environment for statistical
computing and graphics which provides a wide variety of statistical and
graphical techniques: linear and nonlinear modelling, statistical tests,
time series analysis, classification, clustering, etc.

Dear R People:

Do we say that R is a programming language or a programming environment,

Which is correct, please?

Thanks in advance,
Sincerely,
Erin
