Because a good C++ basis goes a darn long way... Also github.com/QuantStack/xtenso… (but non-standard R packaging still makes me cry)
@wuoulf showing off xtensor work, for C++ library writers wanting to use either #Python or #JuliaLang. Interesting stuff at #JuliaCon2017! 🤓

I may change my mind on this, but I currently dislike the idea that programming with #tidyverse requires a whole new eval approach. #RStats

Thanks, @jonmcalder for your interest and appreciation of this. It's strong testimony to the brilliant work of the #rstats Core developers.
Exit poll for June 2017 election (UK) statgeek.net/2017/06/11/exit… <- cool! #rstats code written pre 2005 (R 2.1.0) by @firthcity still delivers!
