R is a computer language not entirely unlike the S language developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories by Rick Becker, John Chambers and Allan Wilks. The two languages are implemented quite differently, but bear enough superficial resemblence that users should be able to switch between the two with relative ease. Currently the software is undergoing active development. Discussion of the development process is carried out on the "r-devel" mailing list.
R has been implemented in a very portable fashion and in way which requires relatively little in the way of machine resources. Implementations exist for many for many members of the Unix family of operating systems, including AIX, FreeBSD, GNU/Linux, HPUX, Irix, MacOS X, Solaris, and Tru64. In addition there is a version for Microsoft Windows (9x, ME, NT4, 2000, XP).
Run R Script is an online integrated development environment (IDE) for R statistical computing. It includes a console, code editor that supports direct code execution as well as tools such as user-defined data file, cloud-based R code storage, offline incremental search for more than 3600 functions, R search powered by Google custom search and code completion.
