A few weeks ago I released (so far only on r-universe) the 0.1.0 version of my array computing framework for R (jit compiles, supports autodiff and runs on CPU and GPU): Check it out here: https://github.com/r-xla/anvil #rstats

unigd has been removed from CRAN, but jgd courtesy of @gmcd might be worth checking (I understand it’s a super early alpha): https://github.com/grantmcdermott/jgd

Experimental #rstats package for nice graphics display and UX in VS Code (and other potential front-ends)

https://github.com/grantmcdermott/jgd

Very lightweight and seems to work as expected on my system, but please kick the tyres.

Btw, the latest rixpress version now supports Sub-Pipelines! rixpress: reproducible analytical pipelines in #RStats, #Python and #Julia using #Nix as the underlying build tool!

I've been working on arf console, an R terminal implemented in Rust, for about two weeks as a coding practice using Claude Code.
I can't say that I've tested it thoroughly myself (unfortunately, I found two serious bugs when I tried using it myself right after it was opened😫), but if you're interested, I'd be happy to give it a try. #rstats

Things are grim. But in more frivolous news...

@jamesbrandecon.bsky.social
and I have been chipping away at `dbreg`, a 📦 for running big regression models on database backends. For the right kinds of problems, the speed-ups are near magical.
