Been saying this for decades, and _actually meant it_. There is so much sanity checking done in a package that it absolutely certainly unquestionably is the correct container to assemble
#Rstats
code in.

I'm often amazed at how much typing I've saved myself by using `dput(names())` when working with

. I wrote about this back in 2024, and I was reminded about it's utility again today:

Hilarious watching the Python folks getting attacked with the same dumb talking points that they used against R a decade ago. Reminds me of when they pushed Jupyter notebooks over markdown in an IDE, then turned around and claimed only R users would use a notebook 😭

code like it's python. It loves for loops and seems incapable of understanding vectorized operations, matrix math, etc. It ignores all the efficient ways of doing things in R. Great for simple tasks, but I'm running into limits.

If Rstudio would allow people to execute Python in a Python interpreter (without reticulate) using the same keyboard shortcuts afforded to .R and .sh files (ctrl+enter) this plot would go to the moon

Quick follow-up to diffuseR: Here are the export scripts I used to create the TorchScript files 🔧 Fair warning - they're a bit rough around the edges, but I wanted to make them available for anyone who wants to export their own models.
