  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)

• Does CRAN still check packages on Solaris?
  1 project | /r/rstats | 21 Jan 2023

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

• Why do people discourage using for loops and what is the best alternative?
  1 project | /r/rprogramming | 5 Oct 2021

  I wouldn't say that for loops are outdated, per se.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.
