Yep! This started life as the PTVS (Python Tools for VS) REPL and now Python, Node.js, C#, R, ... are using it.

Another data point on Anaconda from microsoft's Azure ML team - we've been using Anaconda for the past few years and have been very happy with it. One key feature we like is that we can deploy a nearly identical suite of pkgs on

Sure. It can go from very basic: * Right click on a data frame & "Open in Excel" (to view, chart, massage, etc.) but one way to something more elaborate like we did for PTVS/Pyvot (two way): * https://www.yout

Personally speaking I would love for that to happen. There is room for both an XL IDE and a XS IDE imho.

RStudio is a fantastic IDE. It's been under development for years by some of the smartest ppl in the R community. it's currently decidedly better than RTVS. There are things here & there that RTVS might be better at, but th

Not sure what you mean - RTVS works with CRAN R...

what phillc73 said. Totally respect having a focused command line w no frills workflow. To each their own. But you should really give RStudio a try. It's a beautiful, highly productive R IDE with many features that make writing R much

For Azure ML, some people use it fully in the cloud, others do local work in their favorite IDE, usually RStudio, then upload scripts, do their training, opertionalization, etc. on Azure. If you are using standard R, Python (eg scikit-lear

Brilliant idea! We do take PR's :)

Aha, my bad. Yes, for certain scenarios it makes sense to have a drag/drop paradigm, for some a REPL++ like Jupyter, and sometimes an Editor. That's exactly why we decided to integrate Jupyter w Azure ML. This is going the othe

I think you are referring to WCF? Basically being able to create a model, then operationalize it on the cloud for mass usage? If so, the good news is that you can do that with RTVS, thanks to the R SDK. Basically you create models local

There are no such plans. But we have VS Code, which is great lighter weight IDE that's cross platform. Check it out here: https://code.visualstudio.com/ It has great support for js, node, go, .net etc. already. We&#x

Understood. RTVS itself is 3MB's. Hopefully you won't have to install VS more than once or twice a year as it's several Gigs... Speaking of a web page, our team also did "Jupyter notebooks as a Service" on Azure ML

Correct, CE version has restrictions. It's great for checking out RTVS to decide if you want to upgrade to Pro/Enterprise.

Hi folks - Last year we polled HN on whether there'd be interest in R integration in Visual Studio. You said "YES!", so here it is! I'll be around in case you have any questions. BTW RTVS was built by the same group tha

It definitely does! In fact with the Community Edition it becomes a perpetually free R IDE. edit: see gnoway's comment below tho.

Team lead here - yep, we'd love to do a VSCode/R version as well. If you want to lend a voice, take our R IDE survery and upvote that question: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RTVS1

Thanks rogerbinns - Understood, just wanted to make sure you were aware & it looks like you are :). I've pinged the VC++ team and will report back. BTW we've setup the alias pythonbuildtools at microsoft.com where folks like

IronPython has been in the community's hands for a while. We do support it in PTVS, but that's about it. Curious - did you consider Qt?

Dear HN, Our team did PTVS (Python Tools for Visual Studio). A few months ago we asked HN if there would be interest in R in Visual Studio. The response was positive. These are very early bits, but it should give you a general flavor of wh
