This week's data is from the CRAN courtesy of Phillip Massicotte.

He analyzed the lines of code and the different languages in all of the R packages on CRAN.

Get the data!

cran_code <- readr::read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday/master/data/2019/2019-11-12/loc_cran_packages.csv")

# Or read in with tidytuesdayR package (https://github.com/thebioengineer/tidytuesdayR)
# Either ISO-8601 date or year/week works!
# Install via devtools::install_github("thebioengineer/tidytuesdayR")

tuesdata <- tidytuesdayR::tt_load("2019-11-12")
tuesdata <- tidytuesdayR::tt_load(2019, week = 46)
