It is based upon S, which was developed by [[John Chambers]] of [[Bell Laboratories]] and described in the paper "Evolution of the S Language" [http://cm.bell-labs.com/stat/doc/96.7.ps]. R is considered by its developers to be an implementation of S, with semantics derived from [[Scheme programming language|Scheme]]. The commercial implementation of S is S-PLUS [http://www.insightful.com/products/splus].
