What is it about R that inspires such love, devotion, and creativity in us? This talk is an affectionate journey through the many things that make R and her community gloriously weird. We’ll dip our toes into the history of programming to learn more about the unusual structures and aspects of the R language that send computer scientists spinning: dynamic environments, first-class functions, S3 classes, nonstandard evaluation, and so on. At the same time, we’ll explore some of the quirky and unique elements of the R community that keeps it fresh, exciting, and welcoming to new users. Finally, we’ll reflect on what it’s going to take to sustain this special language and community and to keep the R magic alive.
