Where should you run LLM-generated code to ensure it's both safe and scalable? And why did we move from a cool in-browser WebAssembly approach to boring, yet reliable, cloud computing?

Our AI chart generator taught us that running R in the browser with WebR, while promising, created practical issues with user experience and our development workflow. Moving the code execution to AWS Lambda proved to be a more robust solution.

I have just completed the release of the polars package for #rstats, which we have rewritten over the course of a year.

https://github.com/pola-rs/r-polars/releases/tag/v1.0.0

It can be installed instantly from R-multiverse (even on #webr !).

pretty amazing/incredible that we can use @duckdb #duckplyr in @gws #webr #rstats

silly example to show it works with the 330k nyc flights dataset

#rstats #webr

What is this? An R editor for ants?

@examplesWebR now goes full-screen because your data viz deserves better than a cramped iframe!

Click "Full-width" → no more squinting

Try it: https://rd.thecoatlessprofessor.com/webr-in-pkgdown/reference/residual_surrealism.html

#rstats #webr

Shoutout to @gws for another webR REPL update:

1. Shared code now auto-runs when you click links (by adding &a parameter to end of code=)
2. Choose your view: editor, plot, terminal, or files with ?mode='editor-plot'

Try it yourself: https://webr.r-wasm.org/latest/?mode=%27editor-plot%27#code=eJyb2LwkLzE3dXVoXklmSU5qiqFe0JKCxJKMXfoZ%2Bbmp%2BuWpSfGlxalF%2BsjyKYkliUe4CnLySzQMrQwNNAHRbxp%2B&a

#rstats #webR

Experimenting with `@examplesWebR` - a new #roxygen2 tag that makes #rstats package examples interactive!

Instead of static code blocks, users get "View in webR REPL" buttons that open examples in their browser or the embedded webR REPL. No R installation needed!

Still WIP (🚧 ) since the main challenge is distributing dev packages for #webR (non-CRAN versions).

Would love input on the best approach! Here or:

https://github.com/coatless-rpkg/rocleteer/pull/1

#webR now has shareable links! Just like #Shinylive's editor, you can instantly share #rstats code snippets with colleagues.

Thanks to @gws (webR creator) for adding this awesome feature to webR Latest (0.5.4-dev)!
