R is very, very slow compared to all the other programming platforms (including Ruby, a nice language but with some of the slowest implementations out there).
R syntax is very unlike most programming languages so jumping to other languages can feel strange.
Python with Numpy, SciPy and Pandas, is the current widespread alternative to R and a good starting point. Recommended!!
