Oh, this is a great start! They're immediately telling us R is for statistical computing and graphics, which is exactly what I'm looking for. It’s good to know it’s developed by specific people and is a GNU project.

It's really interesting that R is so similar to the S language and can run its code. That makes a lot of sense for its extensibility, and the fact that it's free and open-source is a huge bonus.

This is setting a good foundation, explaining R's core purpose for stats and graphics. Knowing it's built on S gives it some serious credibility from the get-go.
