Super excited for the new release of #rstats V8 which now also works in WebR by running js/wasm natively in web worker (thanks to @gws.phd). Will release some cool new packages soon to show the potential of WASM in R ✨

PSA for anyone beginning to use #wasm #webR to share R code snippets: We have a new short URL for the webR app: webr.sh!

Thanks to some joint work with @jeroenooms.bsky.social the latest dev build of webR now supports the {curl} package, along with many other packages that rely on it! 🎉 If you're able to use a WebSocket SOCKS proxy (outside of the browser), you can now use {curl} to make HTTP requests in webR.

We're happy to announce that there will be another #rstats Tidy Development Day after the 2025 posit::conf in Atlanta! www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/07...

webR 0.5.4 has been released! Some new updates include sharing URLs for the webR app, filesystem support for JupyterLite 0.6, and an upgrade to the Emscripten runtime. Read all about it in my latest post on the tidyverse blog: www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/07...

🚀Quarto Live developer @gws.phd shows how to make interactive, explorable, & reproducible docs. #Python & R in the browser—no setup, no servers! ✅ Live coding exercises & auto-checking ✅ Works on mobile! 📺 Watch now → buff.ly/41BnAsT #Quarto #DataScience #WebAssembly

As far as I’m concerned, #webr and #shinylive is indistinguishable from magic. I can’t believe that since first installing #quarto-webr a few hours ago till now, I’ve gotten a relatively complicated #shinyapp exported, deployed, and running serverless. This is magic. #rstats

I have now also ported the color vision deficiency simulation app to Shiny live. Advantage is this runs entirely in your browser, even though you "upload" the image it never leaves your computer.

Recently I've been working on getting #polars running in #pyodide. This was a fun one, even requiring patches to LLVM's #wasm writer! Everything has now been upstreamed and earlier this week Pyodide v0.27.0 released, including a Wasm build of Polars usable in Pyodide, Shinylive and Quarto Live 🎉

📦 usethis 3.1.0 📦 is released. `use_vignette()` and `use_article()` can now help you initiate a Quarto (.qmd) vignette or article. #rstats usethis.r-lib.org/news/index.h...

#RStats I'm so happy to finally share what we've been experimenting on at ThinkR for the past couple of weeks — A native mobile app that can run R code through #webR Read more at 👉 rtask.thinkr.fr/youve-been-w...

We’ve been working hard on next quarto version and it is coming out soon. It is already available so if you are ok to try it please do ! Feedback welcome to find the remaining bugs that could still be hidden. Thanks !

I made a starter pack with #Shiny for #RStats and #Python devs and friends! And if you're a Shiny person and want to be included, let me know. go.bsky.app/BFEQ1HY

I've written a series of blog posts about what I've been up to over the last few months! 📝 In the posts I talk about webR, R Shinylive, and a new Quarto extension for interactive code exercises. Take a look if you're interested in the latest for R for WebAssembly. www.tidyverse.org/blog/2024/10...

No trick, all treats - posit::conf(2024) talks are now on YouTube! 🍬 Over a thousand people gathered in Seattle and online to dive into all things open-source data science. With 100+ talks, there's a lot to explore! Check out the playlist: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #RStats #Python

R in Production, r-in-production.org, is a new book that will help you put R into production, coupled with (in the near future) new tools to make the process less painful. I'm working on this with @thomasp85.com , @gaborcsardi.bsky.social, and @hfrick.bsky.social.

🎓 Excited to speak at @pyopensci.bsky.social 's Fall Festival! Join me for insights on the future of #DataScience education using #WebAssembly tools like #Pyodide & #webR with #Quarto. 📅 Nov 1st, Workshop: "Reproducible reports and presentations" 🧵 Thread below!

‼️ New blog post! I discuss the benefits of developing C/C++ code for R with the new #Positron IDE (from @posit.co) and provide functions to add to your user profile to automate some current pain points away! Developing C/C++ code for R with Positron Link: www.tylermw.com/posts/coding... #RStats

I made an #RSats starter pack. Includes a touch of Linux, Python, and dataviz but mostly R. go.bsky.app/Ki7PjpS

I recently wrote a deep-dive post discussing the patches we make to LLVM Flang to cross-compile #wasm objects from Fortran source for #webR. It's at gws.phd/posts/fortra..., do take a look if you're interested. There are also some fun little interactive BLAS & LAPACK demos near the end of the post.
