Line 1: The '''R programming language''', sometimes described as "[[GNU]] S", is a mathematical language and environment used for statistical analysis and display. It is based upon [[S programming language\|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]. R is freely available under the GNU [[GNU General Public License\|GPL]] and is available for [[Microsoft Windows\|Windows]], [[Apple Macintosh\|Macintosh]], and many [[Unix]] operating systems.
