+R is a system for statistical computation and graphics. It consists of
+a language plus a run-time environment with graphics, a debugger,
+access to certain system functions, and the ability to run programs
+stored in script files.
+
+The core of R is an interpreted computer language which allows
+branching and looping as well as modular programming using functions.
+Most of the user-visible functions in R are written in R. It is
+possible for the user to interface to procedures written in the C,
+C++, or FORTRAN languages for efficiency. The R distribution contains
+functionality for a large number of statistical procedures. Among
+these are: linear and generalized linear models, nonlinear regression
+models, time series analysis, classical parametric and nonparametric
+tests, clustering and smoothing. There is also a large set of
+functions which provide a flexible graphical environment for creating
+various kinds of data presentations. Additional modules ("add-on
+packages") are available for a variety of specific purposes.
