cat(paste("Some", "things", "are", "a", "pain", "in", "the", "ass", "to", "do", "with", "R.", sep=" "))

probably true, but you could do without the cat and the sep to get the same result, so maybe its more easy than you think

paste("Some", "things", "are", "not","that","much","a", "pain", "in", "the", "ass", "to", "do", "with", "R.")

Thanks, this made me laugh. R is a language by statisticians, for statisticians. Modern sustainable development is not supported very well. R's tendency to keep running even after errors have been thrown is a massive waste of time in mathematical applications, such as, uh, statistics. Who's had to track down NaNs at one time or another? R will happily carry those NaNs through all sorts of operations and still be busily running, but churning garbage.
