#22Interesting product.
However, you should get a native English speaker to fix the grammar and spelling on your web site.

At least they didn't spell it "FastR".

As do I. It serves as a fine basic computational substrate for the kind of stuff I do, mostly hassle free.

#27Being windows-only based, this sounds about as useful as an asshole on an elbow. .. I mean I only know one statistician using windows myself... not l33t dudes

#28Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes you're right. It's the plane.
Typos on page: univerties FasteR - desctop application This tools hepls or as [an] application
There are several other typos which, whilst trivial, are quite jarring:
http://fasterstat.com/Product produsing -> producing poverfull -> powerful
http://fasterstat.com/ anoher -> another
There is also inconsistent use of 'Addin' and 'Add-In'.

#29Making R available from Excel seems a good idea to ease the transition for newbies (like R commander) but what advantages does the standalone IDE have over RStudio or the default R.app? Edit: actually I managed to click through to find this screenshot: http://fasterstat.com/Images/Desktop/12_R_gui.png which looks novel (can't currently watch the video unfortunately)
A major use-case for Excel integration is in finance, where a vast number of analysts - not newbies in any meaningful sense - work in Excel. Giving them access to the power of R from within a familiar environment is a great thing. Recommendation for the developer (if you're not doing this already): market hard to finance businesses. You'll make a killing.
Term newbies in R was what the poster before stated.
Personally I would NOT want to have anyone use R with a spreadsheet program.
1) I want manipulated data that is clear to replicate
2) I want my output to be plots and reports not another spreadsheet

#30I don't understand why people would want to do mathematics in imperative languages.
(Yes, I understand imperative languages are faster, but why not just keep the imperative parts for the "inner loops", nicely isolated, and a functional core for everything else?)
