i do not agree with the general statement "if you want to program a
serious scientific app, you better learn C". from my experience that
is true only for some problems. for example, if you would like to
analyze fMRI data with an algorithm of your own, well, you'll better
learn C. and sometimes you need structures (struct in C, record in
pascal) in order to model more complex data, then C or pascal is the
better choice (for example if you want to do some complex modelling).
but RR can be used successfully for scientific applications -- i am
an experimental psychologist and use it nearly everyday: i prepare
my data for later analysis (clean up files, merge data, rearrange
files), create my experiments, manage some databases. it probably
isn't the best tool to do 3d live rendering, but about that i am not
sure. on the other hand, perhaps the stuff i do is not considered
"serious" science ...
best, olli.
