has anyone used R for non-math projects? it has some very interesting features but i'm not sure how well it would hold up for large projects, complicated data structures, etc.
Actually, this view is probably the best entry point: http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/HighPerformanceComputing...
Where it's not so strong, of course, is in terms of web frameworks. Nothing that I could find, and, considering the scope of the language, it's allmost unreasonable to expect it.
I read here and there that R is not that great handling huge amounts of data, but then I'm puzzled to know that it is widely being used in genetics... Help!
