What’s a pirate’s favorite programming language?

Today I had the pleasure of speaking to a Mozilla study group about The Little R’er.  The Little R’er is a project of mine from about a year ago - it’s basically The Little Schemer for R.  Or, rather, the first few chapters of the Little Schemer for R.  R is, in my opinion, a much less elegant language than Scheme and I found that the socratic method eventually broke down as a pedagogical tool.  The discovery of silent recycling did not help my enthusiasm levels either.

Anyway!  Many thanks to Aurelia Moser and the Mozilla Science community for reminding me that this project even exists.  I don’t think I ever promoted it when I built it, just put it up on Github, so I’m curious to see what people actually think about it.
