For some reason non-duplicate <sub> tags are ignored in the last list item.

However, I assume that the features you mention don't really have much to do with the design of the language itself but simply with libraries you can invoke? In that it wouldn't be too different from Python. (Or Haskell, which has the benefit of libraries as strongly-typed eDSLs. FWIW I myself write all my LaTeX documents and screen presentations in Haskell, and one of the top document conversion tools is basically just a wrapper around a Haskell library.) | |

It can do all sorts of crazy things like generate LaTeX documents (using Rmarkdown, which can do Word, or HTML, or Markdown, or...) contain embedded C++, etc etc. Comparing the statistics you can do in R to Matlab is like comparing the best linear algorithms you can do in Matlab to the ones a first-year student who has learned Gaussian elimination can do. | |
