Did not realize that when you explicitly add types to variables in #python functions you can access all the methods and other IntelliSense stuff from within the function. Legit question: Does something like this exists for #rstats (using #positron here)?

Once Positron is installed in WSL, this is all I did (ignoring the warning for now).
Command line prompt for starting Positron with an innocuous warning about using the software from WSL.

Per @anatolii.nz's suggestion, I gave @posit.co's Positron a whirl using WSL's GUI and it worked! This is seriously cool. #rstats #python

Wait, wait, what?! I can now run Linux GUI apps in Windows directly from WSL? That is magical. I still like running dockerized stuff with RStudio Server, but this is a great option to have. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window... #rstats #wsl2
A view of RStudio for Linux (Ubuntu) forwarded to Windows 10 with some example code and ggplot2 output. A redbox in the Windows taskbar highlights the RStudio icon with the Linux icon, indicating the app is being served from WSL2.

I hadn't really thought of this benefit before, but pipes are great for identifying just the parts of a workflow that changed between commits
