I agree. I'm writing a lot of CI/CD for R and R Shiny apps with various SQL backends for my employer and the broader data science team. There's so little good documentation out there for R, I've spent weeks in trial and error trying to understand why ODBC connection strings fail and R SQL code is failing. And even more time deciphering why certain R packages in Debian don't work at all. I've taken the effort to compile a lot of them myself from source (GitHub) and writing the appropriate love letters (aka documentation) for my future self. Working with R for the first time has been an insanely difficult learning curve for an R language novice. Especially when compared to writing Python where most questions I can't answer immediately are only a search engine away. R has been difficult, but definitely rewarding.
