Was S "really, really old" when it was re-implemented in R? Gentleman and Ihaka first announced R in 1993 (26 years ago!).
The development of S started in 1976 (i.e. 17 years before R was first released). R was a implementation of S3, "the New S language", which was a major rewrite done in 1988 (it was just five years old when R was announced!).
