@joel R is a programming language for data science. The ide is called RStudio. It's a terrible name for a programming language because you can't really Google single letters

@drdrowland
There's also the Windows-based data recovery suite called R-Studio...

@drdrowland @joel it's kinda useful in some ways - I've prototyped some reports for clients in it before.
but yeah, web searching for info is hard, you can't even reliably search "r-lang" as it tends to be corrected to "Erlang" 😔

@drdrowland @joel This is in part correct. One of the #ide|s is #RStudio aka #Posit. However, you can chose others, as there are many more like #RKWard (rkward.kde.org/), #TinnR (sourceforge.net/projects/tinn-), #Rattle (rattle.togaware.com/), #BlueSkyStatistics (blueskystatistics.com/Default.) or #Bio7 (bio7.org/r-debugging-gui-impro). Just search for "R IDE GUI".

My personal preference is RKWard (I am a bit biased).
