Description-en: Emacs mode for statistical programming and data analysis
ESS ("Emacs Speaks Statistics") is a GNU Emacs and XEmacs mode for
interactive statistical programming and data analysis. Languages
supported are the S family (S 3/4, S-PLUS 3/4/5/6/7, and R), SAS,
XLispStat, Stata, BUGS and Julia.
.
ESS grew out of the desire for bug fixes and extensions to S-mode and
SAS-mode as well as a consistent union of their features in one
package.
