R is firmly entrenched as a premier statistical software package. Its open‐source, community‐based approach has taken the statistical software scene by storm. R's interactive and scripting programming style makes it an attractive and flexible analytic tool. R does lack the speed/flexibility of other languages; yet, for a specialist in statistics, R provides a near‐complete solution. RStudio's efforts further solidify R as a key player moving forward in the modern statistical software ecosystem. We see the popularity of R continuing – however, big data's demands could force R programmers to adapt other tools in conjunction with R, if companies/developers fail to keep up with tomorrow's challenges.
