The processing is done by R.

Of course, it *could* be done in Lua, but this all depends on what processing is needed, for R contains many libraries of routines (but so *can* lua).


For the list, this discussion between Hans and myself follows a presentation that I made at the last ConTeXt Meeting regarding handling large data files in lua (+MetaPost). We are presently working on an article for the Context Journal to document this.

P.S. Lua is rather magical...
