"Quarto 2 will include a built-in collaborative editor. . . . The design of those integrations is still taking shape. It is very early in the project. . . . We don't expect to have a public release of Quarto 2 for at least 6 months."

There used to be a time when building out a botnet required *some* work – writing exploits, taking over devices, obscuring the purpose of the executable, etc.

Not any more!

Instead of "malware", call it an "AI agent" and people will just happily install it on their devices with full root privileges!

Bam! RCE by asking nicely.

@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!
