RStudio: 2022 and Beyond
summary
Company claims a sustainable model for funding open source scientific software and proves it by employing 43 full‑time open source engineers, ~40% of engineering time on OSS and a ~250 person headcount, with goals of 143 then 200–300. Core products stay open source while enterprise layers handle web deployment; the brand is renaming to Posit and products become Posit Workbench/Connect/Package Manager. Documentation and publishing move from R Markdown to Quarto replaces R Markdown, and IDEs + Package Manager explicitly support multilingual (R, Python, Jupyter) workflows.
