10 Years of RStudio and What Happens Next
Regular talk, 11:20 AM - 12:20 PM
RStudio is one of the most popular IDEs for data science ever made. In this talk I'll reflect on the last decade of its development and the principles that guided its journey. What makes data science IDEs different from other development environments? We'll get into the philosophy of tool use just a little bit – how the tools we use shape the things we make. I'll share some thoughts about what's coming in the next decade of data science tooling from Posit.
In an effort to make the talk at least marginally practical I'll also talk about R in Posit's new IDE Positron and share some tips and tricks for customizing and extending its R experience.
