Don't Enforce R as a Standard
Why did R take over the world of statistics anyways? I remember about 8 years ago I had an interest in statistics. Everything was SAS, SPSS etc which i just didnt have the budget for... I happened to find R as it was a freely available for linux, impression I got was no one used it, well some limited use in academia, but no professional usage.<p>Fast forward it seems like the most widely used tool in computer data analysis. Did something fundamentally change?
