Hi @eddelbuettel I hadn't time yet to say how wonderful #r2u is. Now that April arrives, It would be nice to get a frozen version of it for the last days of the R 4.2.x before 4.3.0 (thinking about rocker and reproducible workflows).

Home now, but this was taken this morning and only a few flight hours away though it feels further. Excellent book, this one taken from Lisa's stack.

CRAN rocks. RcppArmadillo 0.12.0.1.0 auto-processed following reverse-depends check of *1042 packages*. Without hickups. We found and reported an upstream issue in Armadillo 12.0.0 which Conrad fixed within a day. So all really good here. #rstats github.com/RcppCore/RcppArma…

Interesting: CRAN appears to listens to public (and private) discussions. A package specifying C++17 now notes: * using R Under development (unstable) (2023-02-09 r83797) [...] * checking C++ specification ... OK Not all R platforms support C++17 [...] #rstats
Most interesting. Just how I was musing (in the quoted tweet) that (too ?) many packages still hard-wire C++11 I just noticed that one of mine now gets warnings for this on the Vienna and Oxford @debian and @fedora r-devel systems of CRAN. #rstats #rcpp #cpp

New Post on combining #rstats with Fortran via #rcpp Possible world audience of three: @ProfJamesCurran (who asked initial question), @jb_duckmayr who answered (years earlier!!), @AvrahamAdler who is all in on Fortran. And me mediating :) gallery.rcpp.org//articles/C…

#r2u is going strongly and proving to be useful for #rstats. We had a few 80k days recently and may soon break 100k per day. Nice to see it being used! eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/

How it started: How it's going: Today's edition of #ChatGPT showing us it is *clearly* not watching enough #soccer, or reading coverage in The @Guardian. "Don't know who EPL clubs CFC and FFC are." Man -- ever been to London, mate?
