Jon Harmon (he/him/his) (@jonthegeek.com; 93/7/9; 2026-09-21): I’ve been feeling pretty down. When I found #RStats, I kinda fell in love, and decided to become as much of an expeRt as I could be. In the age of AI, that’s not a good idea; why make the bots program in a language they don’t really understand? #dataBS ↪
Jon Harmon (he/him/his) (@jonthegeek.com; 53/8/1; 2026-09-21): I think most new code should probably be in typescript or rust, because they’re popular and good languages that are well represented in training.
BUT there’s still a place for codecraft in science & and regulated envs! And wait, that’s where I work now! There’s a place for us #RStats weirdos! ↪

Yes, this is just syntactic sugar (and probably not very useful) but this was fun to figure out with infix operators 😎 ↪
Thomas Lin Pedersen (@thomasp85.com; 18/0/1; 2026-09-24): One of my greatest joys of the #rstats language is that it comes with both a runif() and stopifnot() function ↪

Yihui Xie (@yihui.org; 25/2/2; 2026-09-21): After a massive cleanup of knitr issues/PRs in the past few days, I can finally stop being jealousy of Will Landau for his zero open Github issues in {targets}: yihui.org/en/2026/09/k… For the record, he has one open issue at the moment and so do I (debating with myself whether I should close it). ↪
