I came from Python, newly learning R. is there something like accumulate() in R?

Example:
accumulate([1,2,3,4,5]) --> 1 3 6 10 15

Or perhaps I should show the problem. The problem I am trying to solve, is to select elements from X until it accumulate to 30. My solution is:

X = c(1,3,4,5,8,15,35,62,78,99)
X[sapply(seq_len(length(X)), function(x) { sum(X[1:x])}) < 30]
[1] 1 3 4 5 8

Is this already the shortest/canonical way to do it in R?
