These are sometimes called 'treemaps' and there is a package by that name. See r-graph-gallery.com/treemap.… for a demo.

IIRC "just about any" rds and even RData files work. There are some limitations listed by the `pyreadr` package (but unsure if those stem from `libreadr` or it).
Worth a shot for `npm` methinks.

Indeed. I discovered MsgPack when working with Redis, they work well together. If you can host a Redis server (or already have one, they are "everywhere") it is also a good cache / go-between. (And see Travers and my package and paper for `RcppMsgPack`.)

An old yet open problem! ProtocolBuffers addresses it (yet uses lots of machinery, ditto Thrift). MsgPack is a lot lighter (via self-describing blobs, no code generators needed).
I like #rstats rds files, and you could try `pyreadr` for #python using

New buzzword: xkcd-driven development.
Because irony is dead: a RL driven solution for managing Python depencencies. See xkcd.com/2510/ : "I tried to train an AI to repair my Python environment but it kept giving up and deleting itself."

I lean towards taking the other side. Look at check.R, checktools.R, CRANtools.R, ... which cover a lot. I.e.
I just "discovered" `summarize_CRAN_check_status()` (which is called too at the of the main checking routine).
But twitter is the wrong place for this so I stop now.

As to 'how does CRAN ...': It's all in the open in base R. If you look ati `R CMD check`, it dispatches to `tools::check_packages()`. These are all great resources for study (and while I don't remember if I saw it write out intermediate results I recommend these for study).

If I recall correctly, the `rcmdcheck` utility package by @GaborCsardi gives you a summary object you can act upon. I have been using for ages via the `rcc.r` shell / command-line wrapper in my `littler` package (but do not act on the summary there).

Both girls are in town, and they made me run around the (Waterfall Glen) block.
Couldn't have asked for a nicer fall day though. Bright, sunny, 50 degrees and a breeze. More of that, please.

. @ussoccer: Let's punk El Tri by playing the game in Cinci with a modest local hispanic fanbase: Done. "Dos a Cero".
@CanadaSoccerEN: Hold my beer.
A home game in Edmonton in November? That is another level.
