Learn a lot from this package -- it was my first class based package and I used the S7 class which I enjoyed it alot. Big shout out to
@djnavarro.net
and
@josiah.rs
for their respective blog write ups on S7 -- while I'm not expert, it helped me to get going!

Following an Rcpp question 'how do I share an object / external pointer' between
#Rstats
and
#Python
, I cooked up a simple 'stopwatch' example in two repos with two packages:
github.com/eddelbuettel...
github.com/eddelbuettel...
The Python side is on PyPi, shall I send the R side to CRAN?

PSA: I added a 'rustup' invocation to the build containers so (current) `cargo` and `rustc` are present. If your Rust-using
#Rstats
package is on CRAN, it will be in
#r2u
as a (completely dependency-resolved) .deb binary that installs in seconds.

. Fast. Easy. Reliable. Pick All Three.

Anyone have prompt tips for Claude / AI cli tools to make sure they don't jump to writing hundreds of lines of code without first coming up with an overarching design? I'm finding that the models have been increasingly eager to jump into solving everything all at once

Using rv in a container | deadSimpleTech
rv is a new declarative command-line package manager for the R programming language written in Rust. Being declarative, I've found it to be far-and-away better at dependency resolution than any of the other package managers on the market, and being a command line tool rather than a tool to be called from inside an interactive R session makes it work much more agreeably with standard development workflows. In short, I really can't see myself recommending that anyone use any other tool for managing R dependencies any more.

The algorithms themselves have a blazing-fast Rust backend, so you can solve and iterate on problems quickly. And they are adapted from seminal papers in the field and the PySAL group's cutting-edge research in spatial optimization.

Itβs not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldnβt have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. Itβs about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isnβt. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Age and inertia, mostly. 'f.xyz' not S3 method for f and class 'xyz' objects fell from favour at some point, but 't.test', 'read.table', etc already existed and were in widespread use.
