"R [http://www.r-project.org] is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics" [http://www.r-project.org/about.html]. For more background on R, see the February 2003 installment of "Server Clinic" [http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.os.linux.development.system/ServerClinic.html]. R apparently binds to [Tcl], [Tk], and [Visual Tcl] in ways that have yet to be clearly described [http://www.r-project.org/nocvs/mail/r-announce/1999/0023.html]. Seductive screen-shots appear at http://www.bioconductor.org/Screenshots/index.html , for example.
