Some R enthusiasts have moved on, drawn away by the variety of tools now available, especially as AI has entered the picture. I myself got somewhat caught up in that shift. I now work with various languages — programming languages — depending on the needs. That is why my content will focus on data technologies broadly, and not only R. I am still an R enthusiast at core, though, and will probably still mostly publish about R here.</p>
