I just read an interesting paper about #Sweave and tooling for reproducible research by Roger D. Peng, which was very important for #rstats before #RMarkdown and #Quarto. I can recommand to read it.

Peng, R. (2025). Tooling for Reproducible Research: Considerations for the Past and Future of Data Analysis. Austrian Journal of Statistics, 54(3), 1–8. [https://doi.org/10.17713/ajs.v54i3.2052](https://doi.org/10.17713/ajs.v54i3.2052)

It is alos in memoriam of Fritz Leisch (31 July 1968 - 24 April 2024), who made major contributions to this area.

This is the link to the whole issue in the Austrian Journal of Statistics.
