title: What is the programming paradigm of R?
body: <p>What is the programming paradigm of R (R as in GNU S)?</p>
  
  <p>I believe myself familiar with programming languages of different conceptual paradigms (have programmend in C++, Java, Prolog and some other languages) but although I already write my own small R scripts, I am not sure which paradigm R is supposed to represent.</p>
