#rstats
The rfuns package is live on pypi (my very first python package) and includes python-native functions with the same name and functionality as many common base R functions; great for quickly doing something in the REPL, not intended for production use
I don't post on here usually (find me on Mastodon) but given that I'm actively seeking a new role, the more reach the better.
I keep trying to use R functions like table() and which() when I'm writing Python but those don't exist... until now

I'm on the lookout for new opportunities to contribute to R tooling. If your org needs help developing/productionising an R pkg or R code, managing data access via db or API, or translating to/from R, let's discuss. All timezones supported. My services: jcarroll.com.au/page/services/

Perhaps you saw the post series "Python is not a great language for data science"... well, here's
Haskell IS a Great Language for Data Science

w00t! - jarl can now run a linter to see if you've accidentally left a browser() in your #rstats code

(my small contribution)
I'm super excited about (crazy fast) Rust tooling making development smoother across other languages.
Mastodon is definitely my go-to social media at this point, but I was disappointed in the presence at a recent tech event so here I am.
#introduction post: I'm Jonathan Carroll, known around the sites as jonocarroll but mainly fosstodon.org/@jonocarroll
I'm mostly #rstats but learning #haskell, #julia, #rust, #APL, and #python. I work remotely from #australia and I blog at jcarroll.com.au
Also learning #japanese and #tokipona
