of R, life & some randomness

Recursion. A concept that's quite difficult to get the hang of. But one faces it a surprising number of times along the way. Staring at the clock for a few minutes should reveal the fact.

The logo of the website is actually a ggplot. This post goes into the details & points to the code that produced it.

So a website about R, written in R, that has the logo made in R.
Can this be defined as a recursion? Maybe.

To understand recursion, one must first understand recursion.
– Stephen Hawking

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
