Bert R is compiled. Compile and go cycle is quick, but it is compiled. Not to a machine executable but to an object the R runtinme can interperet.
Steve It is all a bit hard. I can make progress the old fashioned way with debug messages and conditional execution and dozens of other techniques. From the 1960s! Do not get me wrong. i accept the situation. I see why it is like it is. I am being too ambitious with my R code. As for Nirvana..... I'll not announce it here, that would be rude! Frankly I think I'll be using Perl for data processing and C++ for heavy lifting and the data structures I need. I might take a quick look at Julia: http://julialang.org/ but life is short, new languages hard. I will not abandon R, but I have learnt some respect - I'll use R appropriately in the future.
