I&#x27;m not qualified to comment on how good or bad a language R is. But it is maddening how package developers don&#x27;t follow some convention for naming functions. I load a package that I haven&#x27;t used recently and I know the function I want but can&#x27;t remember if it is called my_function, myFunction, my.function, or MyFunction. Google published an R styleguide, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;google-styleguide.googlecode.com&#x2F;svn&#x2F;trunk&#x2F;Rguide.xml#identifiers" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;google-styleguide.googlecode.com&#x2F;svn&#x2F;trunk&#x2F;Rguide.xm...</a>. Does anybody follow it?
