Bioequivalence and Bioavailability Forum

Dear BE-proff,

To be honest, your question is not stupid at all and very sorry to confuse you a little bit. R is a great and free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. That should explain why we choose R. I guess your question is why bear cannot support various languages like commercial computer program do. It is because there is only one person (i.e., me) to maintain it. Unlike companies of commercial computer program, I cannot provide the support of various languages for now (maybe forever). But don't get disappointed so quickly. Since all R packages are under GPL, users can download all source codes and change the language they prefer to fit their need before using it. It should be do-able. R itself does provide the support for various languages, but it is just user's interface.

❝ Why did you decide to use R to develop Bear while there are other areas like MS Excel, Visual Studio with different sets of languages, etc.?
