Sorry My previous report is not detailed. In R, you will get this:
mylist <- list() mylist[[1]]
Error in mylist[[1]] : subscript out of bounds
Yes, that is a known difference, I believe deliberate.
mylist[[1]] <- c(1)
Error: (list) object cannot be coerced to vector type 14
I get no error in 0.64.1, the current version (since Friday): try upgrading.
In R, (0.64 Binary, Linux 5.0) I tried this command and get an error message:
(I assume you tried 0.64.0: there is no 0.64 that I know of.) I do suggest though that you only index lists by names: relying on the order of list components is fraught with possibilities for error.
