10 out of 38 ain’t bad!
From our friends at Simply Stats: A non-comprehensive list of awesome things other people did in 2014. See number 10 of the 36 in particular (aw, thanks, guys) and any one of the many on the list that talks about R and its loin fruit. R was born in the mid-90s at the Department of Statistics at the University of Auckland and has since turned into a monster. I never ever get tired of telling people that. And speaking of R, a feature praising the little letter that did has been published in Nature.
