The new #morloc getter and setter patterns are the most radical of the new changes in v0.57.1. They offer a succinct syntax for generating functions that access or update data. They replace the many little helper functions #morloc previously required. Here are a few examples:

*multi-line strings* allow triple-quotes to enclose strings that span multiple lines and automatically trims whitespace. See example below where the trimmed whitespace is highlighted:

*string interpolation* allows #morloc expressions to be substituted into strings. Currently the behavior is quite minimal and works only for expressions that evaluate to strings. In the future more formatting options will be added.

*placeholder syntax* allows expressions with underscores to be translated into lambas expression. For example:

Releasing Morloc version 0.57.1! There are 5 major new features: placeholder syntax, string interpolation, multi-line strings, and getter and setter patterns. I'll introduce all of each of these in dedicated posts.

On Cracker Barrel, it's amusing how conservatives seem to believe they're attacking woke liberals. The people they're most likely to hurt by damaging the company are its employees — who are generally residents of red states. In fact, 84% of Cracker Barrels are located in red states. I counted.

I've added a few new features to {grateful}, the package that facilitates citation of #rstats packages, and I'd love feedback before submitting to CRAN 🧵
