'Positron IDE - A new IDE for data science'
🧞 In May I wrote about my favorite IDE's. As a result of that post, I was asked to join Posits private beta-testers for their new IDE, Positron. Now Positron is out of private beta, so let's see if it can replace my current favorite IDE's. ---

@geospacedman tbh, the elastic license seems quite permissive, and I can't say it has any effect.
Given that much of science is mainly done with proprietary, closed source software, elastic licence seems very favourable.
@geospacedman @defuneste I don't agree. I refuse to say that my colleagues using SPSS are doing poor science just because it's proprietary. I see them being rigourous, and validating results in multiple ways they are able.
I don't think it's a productive stance.
@geospacedman @defuneste I agree it's not ideal, and will happily advocate (and do) for more open practices. But that being said, the language you use to talk about this matters. And I don't think the way you argue helps, I think it rather deters.
Why listen to someone who blatantly disrespects how you do things? FOSS is not always the most accessible to people who dont code daily. That doesn't make their work less.
@geospacedman @defuneste I should hope not 🤣
But the way you approached here was basically telling me I am a poor scientist because my entire tool chain is not FOSS. You won't win me over with an approach like that, and I dare say you won't win anyone over with an argument like that.
@geospacedman @defuneste and circling back to the OP, positron as an IDE is not introducing anything that I can see that stops reproducibility.
The thing with the here package is just as easily done through terminal and is default R behaviour when called from shell. In a sense, Positron is a step better than RStudio for reproducibility because of this. It's a literal interface, not something that alters behaviour.
@geospacedman @defuneste good to hear, we all need less reviewer 2 in our lives.
I'm glad you had me look at the lisence, I do agree it's something to pay attention too. But I daresay I have a more lenient interpretation of what is good enough than you.
team compromise here, I think it is a road to pursue but you can be at multiple stage of it (I am terrible at translating analogy in english).
(btw license are freaking important in coporate env.)
@Drmowinckels I can't really use Positron for work because it doesn't have the Remote SSH feature of VS Code (yet).
For home projects, I found that I didn't need a variable/data explorer as much as I thought - since I tend to write code in VS Code then import it into jupyter to visualize / use.
I really like the list of extensions. I installed a few I hadn't tried!
@marcoshuerta that makes sense! I'm looking forward to SSH features too, but I'm not that encumbered by it lacking.
I've never enjoyed using jupyter, but I can see how the.festures added by positron is not as necessary when you have that type of workflow.
