R is a free, open-source language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It's widely used by statisticians, data scientists, researchers, and analysts for data manipulation, statistical modeling, visualization, and reproducible research. The R GUI provides an interactive interface for running R commands, though many users also work with R via command-line or IDEs like RStudio. R is fundamental to academic research, industry analytics, and data science workflows across fields from biology to finance to social sciences.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">Good news: R has been updated with full native Apple Silicon support.
