[Rcpp-devel] Two hundred Rcpp-using packages on CRAN and BioC

[Yixuan Qiu]

Congratulations to Dirk and all Rcpp developers!
Your work is indeed the third awesomeness, and the much much time that has
been saved for developers using Rcpp is invaluable.
Thanks for this wonderful project and also look forward to seeing more
improvement of Rcpp and releated packages.


Best,
Yixuan
