R help - Dec 2020 - Finance & R

Hi Ben,

It's not very polite to call people's work "outdated",
especially when
given to you for free.  Those packages have been around and stable for
the better part of a decade, will remain stable, are actively
maintained, and all work well together to form a comprehensive suite
of tools for financial analysis.

Best,
Josh

I find the packages quantmod, TTR and PerformanceAnalytics a bit outdated. There
must be something more recent on the market. Any suggestions will be much
appreciated!

Joshua,

there may be some cultural differences in play, some people are direct,
some don't like the American passive aggressiveness, and then English
may not be the first language of a poster.

A package may be a bit outdated, or not. If so, it in itself means
nothing other than that it is a bit outdated. Even if it is free of
bugs, and do what it is supposed to do, fast.

I think it is legitimate to ask here for alternatives.
