Yeah, R's not like that. R won't even tell you what you did wrong. It just tells you that you did it wrong, stupid. And I am a mediocre typist at best, and my eye/brain always tends to see what I think I typed, rather than what I actually typed.
Yeah, my wife works mostly in R and is... thoughtful and orderly. I have to hear about others, all the time, that are less so and her struggles to make sense of their messes that don't translate or scale well or whatever the hell.
