I'm excited to share side::kick(), an experimental open-source coding agent for RStudio built entirely in R. It can interact with your files, communicate with your active #rstats session, and run code.
Check it out: github.com/simonpcouch/...

🚀 The @rconsortium.bsky.social's inaugural R+AI Conference is next week!
I’ll be presenting diffuseR — bringing Stable Diffusion to R natively (no Python, no reticulate… just {torch} and vibes 😎).

I'm often amazed at how much typing I've saved myself by using `dput(names())` when working with #RStats.
I wrote about this back in 2024, and I was reminded about it's utility again today: www.collinberke.com/til/posts/20...

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 😭

Intriguing new package `edgemodelr` offering llama.cpp / ggml for #Rstats for local model deployment. Quite tiny too with no dependencies besides #Rcpp.

By request: Same #rshiny app → native #electron desktop app workflow now on #Windows11
shinyelectron::export() → #rshinylive → installer → app.exe
[Worth the Parallels license to record this from my Mac]
Still no #rstats dependencies for end users. Living the cross-platform life (virtually).

Claude writes #rstats 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
