August 2023 marked the thirtieth anniversary of the first public release of the R programming language. To celebrate this, and to show how far the language has evolved across those three decades, the timeline below shows some landmark events, packages and papers (with some Jumping Rivers items thrown in for good measure). Have we missed any of your personal favourites? Let us know via our social media channels and we’ll see if we can squeeze them in. On browsers that support it, double click/tap on any image or video on the timeline to see it full screen.
Whether you want to start from scratch, or improve your skills, Jumping Rivers has a training course for you.
You can also view the timeline as a standalone page.
The timeline idea was inspired by Figure 1 in the article “The R Language: An Engine for Bioinformatics and Data Science” by Federico M. Giorgi, Carmine Ceraolo and Daniele Mercatelli in the open-access journal Life.
