SMT @pp0196.bsky.social · 07/09/2026the lisp point is very funny given the author www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~ihaka/downl... By the way, are people privy to the R-like rewrite he talks about in that talk ? 110
Miles McBain @milesmcbain.bsky.social · 09/09/2026R really is just a Lisp reskin. If you read through SICP you can go through chapter by chapter ticking off R’s features which makes me think this possibly resembles the R inception story. 110
