Curious what Julia coders think of the 1.0 Pluto release. I've tried it in the past and compared it against vscode and #Positron. The long and short of it was that each felt incomplete in one way or another. Hoping to see Positron and Pluto keep maturing for Julia, though it seems that path is on hold for Positron at the moment.

Pluto 1.0 release!

After six years, it’s time to release Pluto version 1.0! With this release, I want to celebrate all the progress over the past years, and to symbolise that Pluto is ready. I am proud of what we have achieved, and I hope you enjoy it! This is a long post, so I will give a table of contents. This post will take 10 minutes to read. It will take longer if you click on links with additional information. Wait… what is Pluto? Okay! And what’s new in Pluto? (1/10) Reproducibility & reliability (2/10...

Hm OK I just noticed the automatic git blame displayed in the status bar of Positron for wherever your cursor is. That's pretty cool.

I'm checking out the new packages pane in our #Positron IDE. Python or #RStats. The little blue arrows mean package updates are available. Search, sort, install, update, remove, and filter by category. More cool metadata coming in a future release.

Is someone else having issues with #Positron using remote SSH? My #RStats sessions take FOR EVER to startup and the console has enormous latency and sometimes it just completely locks up and I need to close the whole session, sometimes even restart Positron completely.
Meanwhile, using R from the terminal via SSH works perfectly well. And VSCode using the normal R terminal also is working well.

@neilstats I’ve been finding productivity in running #R code in a literate programming style with #Quarto. Also, wanting to explore the new #Jupyter notebooks support in #Positron to see how an #EDA workflow might look like.
