Very happy to hear that five members (https://t.co/zXjNwH82st) and the entire core R team (https://t.co/zqvxQyQzyE) have been recognized with the Rousseeuw prize for Statistics. Great day for the R project (https://t.co/skOUlQAabW).
Congratulations to the R Core Team on receiving the 2026 Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics. For over 30 years, R Core has maintained one of the most important pieces of infrastructure in statistics. Little recognition, thousands of volunteer hours, and enormous impact. Thank you!

We now take for granted computational science requires a strong ecosystem of code sharing. However, before uv, conda, and pip, it was R that laid the foundations for the dissemination of statistical/computational methodologies not only to statisticians but also to biologists, social scientists, and other disciplines driven by data analysis. We now rest under the shade of large trees, but it is gratifying to see the Rousseeuw Prize go to the R Project which was one of the first plant the seeds and till the soil --- and kept it fertiles for almost three decades.

@matloff@octonion Matloff’s thread is spectacularly uninformed unscholarly unprofessional misleading and reckless. I couldn’t agree less with practically every single sentence.
