<p><img alt="10 percent of CRAN packages" src="https://i1.wp.com/dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/code/rcpp/RcppGrowth_2017-08-23.png?w=450" data-recalc-dims="1"></p>
<p>Over the last few days, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp.html" target="_blank">Rcpp</a> passed another noteworthy hurdle. It is now used by over 10 percent of packages on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://cran.r-project.org/" target="_blank">CRAN</a> (as measured by Depends, Imports and LinkingTo, but excluding Suggests). As of this morning 1130 packages use <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp.html" target="_blank">Rcpp</a> out of a total of 11275 packages. The graph on the left shows the growth of both outright usage numbers (in darker blue, left axis) and relative usage (in lighter blue, right axis).</p>
<p>Older posts on this blog took note when <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp.html" target="_blank">Rcpp</a> passed round hundreds of packages, most recently in April <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2017/04/15#rcpp_1000_packages" target="_blank">for 1000 packages</a>. The growth rates for both <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp.html" target="_blank">Rcpp</a>, and of course <a rel="nofollow" href="http://cran.r-project.org/" target="_blank">CRAN</a>, are still staggering. A big thank you to everybody who makes this happen, from R Core and CRAN to all package developers, contributors, and of course all users driving this. We have built ourselves a rather impressive ecosystem.</p>
<p>So with that a heartfelt <strong>Thank You!</strong> to all users and contributors of R, CRAN, and of course <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp.html" target="_blank">Rcpp</a>, for help, suggestions, bug reports, documentation, encouragement, and, of course, code.</p>
