"Interesting" study. @rdatatable is number 140 among the top 200 C language projects -- and I did not see any other pure #Rstats projects. @XGBoostProject is 30th, #mlpack 44th, #lightgbm 84th, #spdlog 95th, @QuantLib 133rd among C++ projects. opensource.googleblog.com/20…

Replying to @eddelbuettel @rdatatable @XGBoostProject @QuantLib
this is nice of course but how could R itself not be on such a list? from a glance it looks like DT gets a lot of credit for being (1) old (2) closing/updating a lot of issues recently [R of course has a different tracker] I guess lots of C projects are also not primarily on GH
