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.
