I have used S-PLUS, R, MATLAB and SAS for many years, and I am actually 
quite happy to use any  of these four languages.  The reason may in part 
involve my using the various languages for the purposes to which they seem 
most suited.  Hence there are many things for which I would not use SAS or 
MATLAB, but for which I would greatly prefer to use R instead.

On the other hand ( to take one of a couple of examples), in the past I 
have not even been permitted to use "R" whatsoever in clinical trials 
applications, which also typically involve a need for CFR Part 11 
compliance.   In this context, though, may I ask if there are people who 
have recently been able to use R for clinical trials work that is done 
within an FDA-approved 21 CFR Part 11-compliant framework?

Thanks very much.
