Hi All,

 

I don't know if this has been reported before, but according to Henrique
Dallazuanna's program (below) the number of R packages has exceeded the
3,000 mark. The count today is 3,175. I ran this just a couple of months
ago & the number was still in the high 2,000s, so it must be fairly
recent. I think this represents about 50% growth in the last year. Not
bad!

 

Does anyone have a program that graphs the growth of R packages? I don't
know if that historical data is around.

 

Cheers,

Bob

[1] 3175
