The Tidyverse is solid. I sometimes wish I used R more in industry because of how good it is.

IMO, R is kind of a syntactic Frankenstein otherwise.

Tidymodels also exists: https://www.tidymodels.org/

From what I saw in the latest "language" surveys or whatever, R does seemingly seem to be making a slight comeback. I was actually surprised at its place above Ruby, iirc. Again, not that these surveys are the end-all-be-all, but I've also started to see a lot more data science postings that have R or Python be a requirement, where I feel like for a few years it was ALL Python.
