Embracing R in the Geospatial Community
summary
A community poll of 307 respondents finds about 60% who don’t code and another 91 who code but not in R, with QGIS dominating both analysis and cartography and Python sitting close to R for analysis. Recruiting developers who use R is a common blocker, and scaling/memory concerns recur. Most-used R geo packages are sf and raster, with popular tooling demonstrations using leaflet, mapdeck and rayshader to produce reproducible maps and visualizations.
