Makes me curious what state R was at the time, or whatever else could've been useful for deep learning, and the benefits of a new language vs adapting something that exists. Seems like it was a big investment

In my opinion R should thought of as an unbeatable graphical calculator, but an awful programming language.

You must hate lisp/scheme then too, which has similar semantics as R. In that case books such as SICP would be lost on you.
