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.Fast forward it seems like the most widely used tool in computer data analysis. Did something fundamentally change?
