R: Then and Now
summary
Membership grows from 21 to 11,205 and CRAN swells from ~2,000 to ~16,000 packages, while 913 meetups claim 700,000 members and 186 women-led groups list 62,000 participants. File handling moves from manual paths to here() plus fs::dir_ls, CSV import shifts to readr::read_csv which prints column types and avoids factors, data frames become tibbles, data wrangling uses dplyr verbs (filter/select), plotting uses ggplot2 and interactive highcharter, and modeling standardizes preprocessing with recipes and unified interfaces like parsnip.
