TL;DR: Tragically, R has a lot in common with old-skool PHP and MS Excel, at the same time.

Only compared to something like C or explicit old-skool Java like threading.

Having a quick look at the code I had forgotten how much work needed to be done for old-skool Windows applications.

At the same time it's a microcosm for a scenario which will play out many times in the coming decade: as older industries are appified and roboticised, how is that transition for the old-skool workers managed to minimise the pain, while maximize the upside of the emerging new models?

Of course, you could go "old-skool" and define interfaces up-front then freeze them, but this just slows your development down to a snail's pace.

I am what is probably now considered "old-skool" (e.g.
