About R
R was created in 1993 by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. It was developed as an open-source implementation of the S programming language to facilitate statistical analysis and data visualization.
R's strengths included its extensive package ecosystem, strong data visualization capabilities, and robust statistical analysis tools. Its weaknesses were a steep learning curve for beginners and slower performance with large datasets. Competitors included Python (with libraries like Pandas and Matplotlib), SAS, and SPSS.
