RStudio is now Posit

From Hadley&#x27;s video blurb, the ringer is when he states &quot;things just work&quot; in the R environment vis-à-vis python (where he tactfully yet implicitly acknowledges the shitshow that is the python library&#x2F;package&#x2F;environment management).<p>Kudos to the R community and supporters for providing a great and useful platform!

I first thought this was an announcement about how R now uses Posits instead of IEEE-754 floats… I wonder if the rebrand will cause any confusion for either party down the line.

The rebrand makes a lot of sense, as the interest and support for Python in the DS&#x2F;ML community keeps growing. I prefer R for data exploration and visualization, but knowing and leveraging both languages seems to be the way forward. Shiny for Python is a very interesting development.<p>Kudos to RStudio (Posit) for delivering great product over the last decade+ and growing a kind, helpful community!

If a C-level executive says, &quot;Posit is not about pivoting from R to Python...&quot;, then most likely, it&#x27;s about pivoting from R to Python.

RStudio the company changes name. RStudio the IDE will remain named as such (for time being at least).

Have used Rstudio IDE extensively for past 3 years but recently switched to VScode.<p>VScode feels more refreshing as compared to RStudio. I love the extensions within VScode that allows it more flexibility as compared to RStudio. Also ability to view hex code as colors in the editor itself. Plus the ability to sync settings using GitHub is so convenient when using multiple computers. On the flip side, Rstudio is more convenient for beginners and being very R focused helps to focus on the &quot;Statistics and data munging&quot;.<p>As for the Rstudio as a company, they have supported Python in the past but with the Quarto they went to extend beyond that. I feel Quarto is still work in progress and has more ambitious outlook as compared to RMarkdown. RStudio cloud is a good option when one have to use specific version of R and alleviates the &quot;Reproducibility&quot; issue to some extent. Especially, when someone does not want to deal with Docker or similar platform. I think RStudio cloud is one of my favorite offering from the company.

Quarto is absolutely game changing.

I used RStudio in my university stats course, along with the strong recommendation by my professor to get the book &quot;OpenIntro Statistics&quot; (3rd edition back then).<p>[1]<p>I really couldn&#x27;t care less about statistics, which like with many other topics&#x2F;courses made&#x2F;makes it incredibly hard for me to concentrate on and actually learn something about it. I could force the knowledge into my brain to be able to recite and use it in practice over and over again, but the moment the exams come around it&#x27;s all gone from my head. That certainly made university very problematic.<p>[1] Edit to add: I forgot to say that using RStudio was the only remotely pleasant part of that Stats course and in later courses where some stats work was needed.

I don&#x27;t understand the post. Are they going to offer a Python IDE equivalent to RStudio?

I&#x27;ve been a huge fan of the RStudio IDE for its Matlab-like look and feel and its support for R. I hope it continues to improve and continue to be a helpful tool for the community.

RStudio-2022.07.2-576 cannot start without R installed by the look of it:<p>Error reading R script (), system error 2 (No such file or directory); Unable to find libR.dylib in expected locationswithin R Home directory &#x2F;Library&#x2F;Frameworks&#x2F;R.framework&#x2F;Resources

That name&#x27;s already taken by the possible successor to the terrible IEEE 754<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Unum_(number_format)#Unum_III" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Unum_(number_format)#Unum_III</a>

Raised a lot of capital from private equity recently too

Still unable to run it on Mac M1 Max. Anyone out there solved this?

So this is not about RStudio the IDE but the company?

Geez, I hate PR.
