We're teaching that to the intern! @kiiirchner: saving grad school and post-doc'ing, so beers on you :)

Nice result but how likely is it that the 10% gain is (partly) due to @GaborCsardi mirroring all of CRAN on GitHub?
#rstats is @IEEESpectrum's 'big mover', moving from 9th to 6th place from 2014-15 spectrum.ieee.org/computing/…

Congrats to the Stan team to get rstan onto CRAN. (And it would be nice if they also cited BH and RcppEigen...)
