Summary

In the last chapter of this book, we have summarized the current position of the R language in the diverse landscape of Big Data tools and frameworks. We have also identified the potential opportunities of the R language to evolve into a leading Big Data statistical environment by tackling some of the most frequently encountered limitations and barriers. Finally, we have explored and elaborated on the requirements which R language will most likely meet within the next several years to provide even greater support for user-friendly, Big, Fast, and Smart data analytics.

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar?
