There seems to be an inexorable push to the Tidyverse in recent years. I remain hopeful, however, that Base-R (and DataTable) will also continue to thrive.

----------

Edit for clarity: I mean use of Base-R without requiring use of the Tidyverse. Most people seem to learn R through the Tidyverse these days and don't understand its drawbacks. As they supplant the earlier generations of R users, it seems inevitable at times that the Tidyverse will take over entirely - this article brings a little bit of hope that Base-R won't be supplanted by but merely supplemented by the Tidyverse.

I did not get the title. We went to the various tidyverse, not base R commands. Anyway, always great to see my favorite language in action!
