R & R Tool Inc history
R & R Tool Inc company history timeline
The Free Software Foundation was founded by Richard Stallman in 1985 and Stallman’s personal web site is an interesting read if you happen to have some spare time.
1992: R development begins as a research project in Auckland, NZ by Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka
1993: First binary versions of R published at Statlib
In 1993 the first announcement of R was made to the public.
So, just a little bit more history here, in 1993 Bell Labs gave a corporation called StatSci which became Insightful Corporation, an exclusive license to develop and sell the S language.
1995: R first distributed as open-source software, under GPL2 license
1997: CRAN founded (by Kurt Hornik and Fritz Leisch)
And R-devel, which is a more specific mailing list for people who are doing development work in R. 1997, what's called the R core group was formed.
The fundamentals of the S language itself has not changed dramatically since the publication of the Green Book by John Chambers in 1998.
Version four of the S language was released in 1998.
And it's worth nothing that in 1998 the S language won the association for repeating machinery software system award.
1999: First in-person meeting of R Core team, at inaugural Directions in Statistical Computing conference, Vienna
Finally, in 2000 R version 1.0.0 was released to the public.
2001: R News founded (later to become the R Journal)
If you want to know my general views on the usefulness of R, you can see them here in the following exchange on the R-help mailing list with Douglas Bates and Brian Ripley in June 2004:
Insightful sold its implementation of the S language under the product name S-PLUS and built a number of fancy features (GUIs, mostly) on top of it—hence the “PLUS”. In 2008 Insightful was acquired by TIBCO for $25 million.
2015: R Consortium founded, with R Foundation participation
