NCoC VS r-source

It's the same with the NCoC. We are not all adults unless we're forced to be.

These policies really stink of the NCoC. They make the incorrect assumption that "we are all adults" as the basis of their policies with the expectation that people will magically just get along. In actuality, we are all individuals that by default project our childhood insecurities and traumas towards each other. These insecurities and traumas combined with our intrinsic identities influence the framework of values we adopt. Proper codes of conduct ensure the effect our latent traumas have towards each other are mitigated. Anyone who thinks an NCoC style of policy would work doesn't think much about anyone else but themselves or those in their particular group.

The only Code of Conduct that I support.

If you want to go deeper, reading the R Internals manual is a good place to start. And then you could even download the source from github.com/wch/r-source and poke around....

Fun fact, the R official contribution guide uses /* … */ for single line C comments as the standard (https://github.com/wch/r-source/wiki/Contributing)

Looks like it was removed December 2021.. Typical CRAN beaviour to not inform package maintainers of this change ¯/_(ツ)_/¯

I wouldn't say that for loops are outdated, per se. As others have noted, vectorized functions in R are typically much faster than writing a standard for loop, but it's important to note that these functions are at their core for loops written in a compiled language like C. For example, the function lapply() used to apply a function to each element of a list in R is actually a wrapper for a function with a loop written in C. But don't take my word for it! Check out some of the underlying source code written in C for the apply() family of functions here.

Hmmm? Found R's grammar in below a minute: https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/trunk/src/main/gram.y
