I always found R syntax to be a bit weird and unusual (from a perspective of someone used to the procedural language family of C, C++, Java etc.) Maybe I can use this as a lever to spark more interest in learning R for real now. Wondering "what the fuck is that" normally is a good energy source for my ADHD brain. This is how I got into Fortran, Cobol, Ada, Modula-3 and a bit of Algol 68.
