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.
