Posit PBC (or Posit) is an open-source data science software company. It is a public-benefit corporation[1] founded by J. J. Allaire,[2] creator of the programming language ColdFusion.
Posit has no formal connection to the R Foundation, a not-for-profit organization located in Vienna, Austria,[3] which is responsible for overseeing development of the R environment for statistical computing.
Posit was formerly known as RStudio Inc. In July 2022, it announced that it changed its name to Posit, to signify its broadening exploration towards other programming languages such as Python.[4]
