I've never used NumPy, but I've done some scripting in R (though nothing nearly as complex as your examples). How does R's array handling compare to NumPy? Just curious.

As an R afficionado myself, I was going to post this exact same question -- including the disclaimer about my problems not being as complex! But you beat me to it.

I eagerly await Dynomight's reply.

I'm not an expert with R, but from what I've seen it's broadly similar, but it doesn't try quite as hard to be general. So I think it's a bit less powerful for array stuff but also less complex. But again—not an expert!
