      Microsoft has announced that it will be joining the Linux Foundation's R Consortium. R is a leading statistical and analysis language that has been in heavy use for some time. Microsoft says that in the future Microsoft will be adding more support for R in their products.

      R is especially popular in big data processing, large financial data analysis and super computing research applications.

          R Code Sample:

          library(caTools)         # external package providing write.gif function
          jet.colors <- colorRampPalette(c("#00007F", "blue", "#007FFF", "cyan", "#7FFF7F",
                                       "yellow", "#FF7F00", "red", "#7F0000"))
          m <- 1000                # define size
          C <- complex( real=rep(seq(-1.8,0.6, length.out=m), each=m ),
                        imag=rep(seq(-1.2,1.2, length.out=m), m ) )
          C <- matrix(C,m,m)       # reshape as square matrix of complex numbers
          Z <- 0                   # initialize Z to zero
          X <- array(0, c(m,m,20)) # initialize output 3D array
          for (k in 1:20) {        # loop with 20 iterations
            Z <- Z^2+C             # the central difference equation
            X[,,k] <- exp(-abs(Z)) # capture results
          }
          write.gif(X, "Mandelbrot.gif", col=jet.colors, delay=800)

            When I was working on Wall St., R was very common there. I supported a lot of R users.

              I guess that you could say that after analysis from this, that the trades we made were R rated! LOL

              Oh man it is a good thing that the weekend is coming up.
