Air: A blazingly fast R code formatter - Davis Vaughan, Lionel Henry
In Python, Rust, Go, and many other languages, code formatters are widely loved. They run on every save, on every pull request, and in git pre-commit hooks to ensure code consistently looks its best at all times.
In this talk, you’ll learn about Air, a new R code formatter. Air is extremely fast, capable of formatting individual files so fast that you’ll question if its even running, and of formatting entire projects in under a second. Air integrates directly with your favorite IDEs, like Positron, RStudio, and VS Code, and is available on the command line, making it easy to standardize on one tool even for teams using various IDEs.
Once you start using Air, you’ll never worry about code style ever again!

Introducing Positron, a new data science IDE - posit conf 2024
Positron is a next-generation data science IDE that is newly available to the community for early beta testing. This new IDE is an extensible tool built to facilitate exploratory data analysis, reproducible authoring, and publishing data artifacts. Positron currently supports these data workflows in either or both Python and R and is designed with a forward-looking architecture that can support other data science languages in the future. In this session, learn from the team-building Positron about how and why it is designed the way it is, what will feel familiar or new coming from other IDEs, and whether it might be a good fit for your own work.

Lionel Henry | Working with names and expressions in your tidy eval code | RStudio (2019)
n practice there are two main flavors of tidy eval functions: functions that select columns, such as dplyr::select(), and functions that operate on columns, such as dplyr::mutate(). While sharing a common tidy eval foundation, these functions have distinct properties, good practices, and available tooling. In this talk, you’ll learn your way around selecting and doing tidy eval style.
