R - Scripting language for statistics

I'm actually reading the book "Machine Learning for Hacker" and I hope to review it as soon as possible together with other books as "Pragmatic Thinking and Learning" and "Pragmatic Debug it". In the first book, the author uses the language R for the examples. R is a scripting language made from staticians for staticians that helps providing a set of functions and data structures to help with the job.
