Hi Stephen, I downloaded R for OS X (RAqua) and am impressed. It seems quite powerful and the Mac implementation is very nice. It could use some GUI based tools for manipulating graphics (for example, clicking on a label to move it or change its font, etc.) It reminds me a little of the APL language, which is cryptic but extraordinarily elegant and has a similar approach to arrays.
