| tidyverse really seals the deal because it's so popular)

| I had noticed some threads about this on stringi/r. Glad to

| Thanks, Hadley. I really just wanted to say you're amazing,
| on the off chance nobody has told you that today.

| R itself is GPL2/GPL3:

| I think that a compiler or interpreter using GPL does not

| Are you bundling dependencies? In the R ecosystem you can just

| kec wrote:
| A quick look and all the packages are MIT except for purrr
| which is gpl2.
| JHonaker wrote:
| There's a mix of GPL-2, GPL-3, and MIT.

| As someone who already knows how to program, I've really liked

|
| It jumps right into visualization from the very beginning,
| which is great as a feedback mechanism, and also highlights R's
| strengths (ggplot2).

| This is definitely a great intro to the parts of R that are
| relevant for all types of analysis. After you get comfortable
| with this and want to do some domain-specific analysis, check
| out the R Task Views[0] on the official site. You can read
| brief summaries of what packages are available for different
| analysis tasks. Really useful, considering how many packages
| are on the official repository (CRAN).
|
| To see more of what a package does and how to use it, look
| for vignettes on the package description page. For example,
| the `forecast` package[1] includes a journal article.
|
| You could also look on bookdown.org, which showcases some
| online books made using the titular package. The are a lot of
| "Doing X with R" guides among them.

| Pete Dalgaard's Introductory Statistics with R is a good book,

| Or go to the source with An Introduction to R[2][3]

| I also enjoyed Norm Matloff's fasteR tutorial.[4]

| Can this integrate with ggplot2?
| jcheng wrote:
| Yes, the example in the blog post uses ggplot2.

| Very cool that you can register font names that have styles
| attached. And all of the ligature support seems great for adding
| math expressions to your plots.
