We love #rstats
So I guess we're all waiting right now for @simonpcouch.com to run his test using sonnet 4.5 #rstats
And maybe gpt-5-codex? :)

Trying out Positron from @posit.co. I think I can get used to it. But I will miss Rstudio.

Autocomplete might be more like Rstudio, i.e. typing ggp (then hit tab) will result in ggplot2:: instead of ggplot()

I agree with Hadley — I think Claude is better with R than ChatGPT in general. I haven’t spent enough time with Gemini 2.5 to judge.

What do you think, #rstats? What’s your preferred LLM for R code?
ChatGPT isn’t very good with R, but Claude certainly is. Yes, there’s more python code on the internet but that doesn’t imply there’s not enough R code for training.

Those creating R shiny apps, how important do you think it is to know shiny well? I’m reading Mastering Shiny right now as I want to understand how this works. But at the same time, a good prompt gives me a complete code for a relatively complex shiny app and it worked right away.
