I've been one (of the very early) collaborators of the R project (http://www.r-project.org/) which is also Ohloh-listed.

For the computer languages that I know and program in, I would like to propose to add "S" or better "S / R" ("R" is "GNU S"; there is commercial S-plus; but "R" is now rather a bit more known than S-PLUS).

You list 'matlab' among the computer languages; a completely commercial thing. "R" or "S" is very similar but GNU software.

Hi maechler,

Good timing. We're getting very close to releasing our language parser as open source. Someone from the community, maybe you? ;-), will be able to add support for R, S, and/or S-plus.
