Huge news from us today: data.table is now a @numfocus.bsky.social sponsored project!!!

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Side note from @kellybodwin.com - as @healthandstats.bsky.social can attest, I told them that the typical pronunciation is "data table" and that I'm the weird one for saying "data dot table"!

But... looks like my version has stuck... oops. 😜
Our next new exciting NumFOCUS Sponsored Project: data.table! data.table (pronounced: data-dot-table) provides a high-performance version of base R’s data.frame with syntax and feature enhancements! We’re thrilled to have data.table be the newest NumFOCUS project. rdatatable.gitlab.io/data.table/

Assigning values to columns looks and feels different in {data.table} compared to base R data frames.

Why, and how does this make {data.table} so much faster? 🤔

Toby breaks it down for us in the latest Tips & Tricks blog post:
