[sl4shd0t]

BartlebyScrivener writes "The New York Times has an article on the R programming language. The Times describes it as: "a popular programming language used by a growing number of data analysts inside corporations and academia. It is becoming their lingua franca partly because data mining has entered a golden age, whether being used to set ad prices, find new drugs more quickly or fine-tune financial models. Companies as diverse as Google, Pfizer, Merck, Bank of America, the InterContinental Hotels Group and Shell use it.""http://developers.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&op=image&style=h0&sid=09/01/07/2316227 (http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/01/07/2316227&from=rss)
