I’m personally an Emacs Speaks Statistics fan myself, but RStudio has been huge boon to the R community. I expect that this will go a long ways towards making Python more accessible to R users.
More importantly, I hope it makes the RNotebook model more popular with the Python crowd. I still do not love Jupyter’s notebook model (Joel Grus sums up most of my arguments—though my biggest beef is with revision control troubles). IMO Org-mode and RNotebooks have the right idea of being text with code interspersed, rather than the other way around.
Lastly, I think RStudio support for Julia could go a long ways toward enriching that ecosystem. Julia seems to be mutually acceptable to R and Python users, but better thought out than either.
- doug1001 7y agoalso an ESS user; do you still use/prefer ESS vs RStudio for package development?
- peatmoss 7y agoYeah, a few versions back they added (or I discovered) some of the package reloading facilities in ESS and I find them pretty comfortable. I’d say RStudio has an edge WRT to debugging R code... unless I just haven’t figured out ESS properly on that front.
- wodenokoto 7y agoI wish rstudio would render markdown in-line. It also tends to forget graphics in output after many open and closes of rmd. I’m intrigued by .org mode but as far as I can tell, there are not options for graphical output while editing
- peatmoss 7y agoYou can display graphical outputs inline in Org, and you can also customize how Emacs render Org files while editing. It’s not a direct preview of how it’ll render after exporting to html / latex / pdf / doc / etc., but it’s very comfortable.
- wodenokoto 7y agoCan you point me to any tutorials on setting it up?
