comment annotations would serve you well. eg.

# TODO: some plans for later
# NOTE: this is a note

pretty sure most IDEs would pick up on these:

this one had me in the first half, ngl.

apparently, R discards empty *formal* arguments.

inspection via `browser()` shows that the call is f(a = 3, b = 2), meaning that after discarding of `a = ` & `b = `, 3 and 2 ended up being matched by position.

haven't found any official docs on this though.

i use {box}. that way, i can have files/functions with the same name but in different "R modules". helps a lot when building a large app, as file & function names rarely get long. plus explicit name imports. pure bliss!

have a look at this example: github.com/ambiorix-web...

you can speed up the R version by a *huge* factor by iterating only on items present in both groups.

apparently, `c()` does too!

x <- c(5, 7, 11)
y <- c(x)

when will i learn R?

well, copy & modify :)

on a serious note though, `[` seems to make a deep copy:

x <- c(5, 7, 11)
y <- x[]
