Why we included this project

ROOT grew up at CERN, where it stores and analyzes the petabytes of columnar data produced by the Large Hadron Collider experiments, but the same toolchain is useful to anyone doing serious quantitative work on large experimental datasets. Its histogramming, curve fitting, and statistical modeling are mature and heavily exercised, and the Cling C++ interpreter lets you explore data interactively before running the same logic in batch or across distributed systems. RDataFrame, the parallel layer, can speed up big analyses on multicore and distributed hardware without forcing you to rewrite your code, and the cppyy-based Python bindings let you keep C++ performance while working in Python. If you want storage, analysis, and visualization in one coherent environment instead of a patchwork of separate tools, it is worth a close look.
