Rosetta Code is a community wiki which presents how to solve various programming tasks by different programming languages. Thus, it serves as a dictionary between programming languages, but also as cookbook of programming recipes for a specific language.
One unsolved (until today) programming task for R was to rank languages by popularity. I worked on it using the...
Version 0.7.8 of Rcpp, released just a few days ago contained a nasty bug or two which we noticed when trying to built the initial release of RcppArmadillo on 64-bit platforms. So a quick bug-fix release 0.7.9 is now in Debian and should be on CRAN sh...

This kind of “hacker” questions sound interesting. One dirty solution should be the brute-force method, e.g: # x: the random vector; # FUN: the
To while away your Friday afternoon, why not explore the nooks and crannies of a 3-D version of the Mandelbrot set: And here's how to create your own 2-D Mandelbrot set in R.
