What is R?
Based on: ACM award-winning S language (core of commercial S-PLUS).
Early 1990s: Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman start reimplementation,eventually called R.
Since 1997:
• Base system developed by R Core Team.
• Highly extensible through packages.
• Openly shared through Comprehensive R Archive Network.
Since 2000s: Lingua franca in statistics. Around ∼100 CRAN packages in 2000,more than 11,000 today (∼ 28% nominal growth rate per year).
Since 2010s: Popular programming language (#5, IEEE Spectrum 2016),especially for data science (KDnuggets 2015–2017, Top 2: Python & R).

Why is R so successful?
• Open source.
• By statisticians for statisticians (in a very broad sense).
• Highly modular and extensible.
• Many subcommunities.
• Spillovers through joint journals, conferences, . . .
• “Big Data Science.”

Why do others contribute to R?
Drivers: For participation in packages/conferences/mailing lists.
• Hybrid form of motivation:Moderated intrinsic motivation; well-internalized extrinsic motivation.
• Social characteristics of the work design:Feedback; social inclusion; building reputation.

Where are we going from here?
Helpful Harmful
Internal Strengths Weaknesses
Rich network of packages. Scaling (e.g., CRAN, useR!).
Broad and active community. Little centralized consolidationand coordination.
External Opportunities Threats
More challenging data. Fragmentation.
Need for data-driven methods. Players with different agendas.

Where are we going from here?
Quite certainly: More growth and more diversity.
Unclear: Whether “one” R community will persist.
Crucial: Communication and exchange within and beyond the community.
High potential: Exciting and innovative collaborations across disciplines.
