#rstats I'm very happy to introduce Jarl, a new R linter.
Jarl is a command line tool with extensions in VS Code, Positron, and Zed. It is extremely fast, able to check thousands of lines of R code in milliseconds. The GIF below shows how r-source (about 200k lines of R code) is parsed in less than 800ms.
Jarl provides several output formats, a workflow file for Github Actions, and more features.
