cyclocomp vs tidycmprsk: at a glance
What is cyclocomp?
A cyclomatic complexity checker that ships once every couple of years, and lands when it does.
cyclocomp measures cyclomatic complexity of R functions and packages, and is best known as the engine behind lintr's complexity rule. It has three releases in the visible window spread across nearly three years. The current one, 1.1.2, adds a quiet argument to cyclocomp_package_dir(); the two before it, shipped a day apart in 2023, added a large speedup and the package-directory entry point itself.
What is tidycmprsk?
Competing-risks modelling that now moves only when its neighbours do.
tidycmprsk wraps competing risks regression and cumulative incidence estimation in tidy-style output, so results slot into gtsummary tables and ggsurvfit plots. The last two releases are small: 1.1.2 sorts tidy.tidycuminc() output by stratum, 1.1.1 is an HTML5 documentation update for CRAN. The substantive work in the window is 1.1.0, which reorganised the gtsummary relationship.

cyclocomp

A cyclomatic complexity checker that ships once every couple of years, and lands when it does.
◆ Current state
cyclocomp measures cyclomatic complexity of R functions and packages, and is best known as the engine behind lintr's complexity rule. It has three releases in the visible window spread across nearly three years. The current one, 1.1.2, adds a quiet argument to cyclocomp_package_dir(); the two before it, shipped a day apart in 2023, added a large speedup and the package-directory entry point itself.
◆ Where it's heading
This is a small tool that reached feature-complete and now moves only when a downstream consumer needs something. Every change in the window is externally contributed, and each addresses a concrete integration need: a function that works on a local package tree rather than an installed one, complexity results sorted so the worst offenders come first, and output suppression for programmatic callers. The 2023 pair shipped a day apart because the new entry point immediately exposed a performance problem on long linear code.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next change to arrive the same way, as a contributed patch serving a linting or CI workflow rather than as planned development.
tidycmprsk
0.0ANALYTICS
Competing-risks modelling that now moves only when its neighbours do.
◆ Current state
tidycmprsk wraps competing risks regression and cumulative incidence estimation in tidy-style output, so results slot into gtsummary tables and ggsurvfit plots. The last two releases are small: 1.1.2 sorts tidy.tidycuminc() output by stratum, 1.1.1 is an HTML5 documentation update for CRAN. The substantive work in the window is 1.1.0, which reorganised the gtsummary relationship.
◆ Where it's heading
The package has spent its releases handing responsibilities to neighbouring packages rather than growing its own surface. Plotting was deprecated then made defunct in favour of ggsurvfit::ggcuminc(), and 1.1.0 moved the regression table methods so that gtsummary could drop tidycmprsk as a dependency. What remains is the estimation core plus the S3 methods that let other packages consume it, which is a deliberate narrowing.
◆ Prediction
Expect releases to continue tracking changes in gtsummary and the broader tidy survival stack rather than adding estimation features.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between cyclocomp and tidycmprsk?
Both compete on the same themes — r-package — within Analytics. cyclocomp and tidycmprsk are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band). See the at-a-glance table above for a side-by-side breakdown of velocity, recent sparks, and editorial themes.
Is cyclocomp better than tidycmprsk?
Sparkpulse doesn't pick a winner — we score release velocity, not feature parity. cyclocomp and tidycmprsk are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band).
