@maelle has written up a great post on the downstream effects of tree-sitter-r!

- Air, for formatting
- Jarl, for linting
- Positron's R support, for completions and more
- GitHub Search for R

It's been very cool to see all the ways this one project has been used to enhance #rstats!

Transitive dependency effects are underappreciated. One package updating a shared dep can ripple through dozens of reverse dependencies without anyone noticing until CRAN check day. Good write-up on making the downstream effects visible.
