From 2015 to 2016: ~6,200 to More than 8,000 in April, 2016
From 2016 to 2017: CRAN now has 10,000 R packages.
> Even then, the incoming generation of undergrads are increasingly proficient with programming and are shying away from R the same way that they shied away from Matlab after scipy matched it for 95% of their tasks.
This is a generalization.
So far you've made opinionated negative generalization with no data.
Python is great because it learn from Matlab and took many great ideas and inspirations from Matlab. But I'm not going to make sweeping negative statements about Matlab or pretend to know how it going when I don't have enough data or experiences in it.
This is not a true statement.
Here are the data that goes against this statement.
