Or make it a system-wide setting for all users as eg the @debian package does:
salsa.debian.org/edd/r-base/…
Good piece of advice in there: if you don't like (or need) having a fixed CRAN snapshot with MRO, you can just call:
chooseCRANmirror()
for standard R behavior in this session, or add this to .Rprofile to make it permanent:
options(repos = c(CRAN = “cloud.r-project.org/”))

Gem of an answer by @MarkKlik about why his fst package outperforms simpler C/C++ approaches to R object to/from disk serialization (by some margin).
tl;dr: chunk size matters!

Reading @yudapearl 's ''Book of Why' noticing scepticism of econometrics so deep-seated that a Nobel-winning concept gets mislabeled: it is vector autoregression hence VAR.
Otherwise mostly nice read so far.

I am another R package developer and I endorse this message.
Seriously. Base R rocks. And CRAN is a another jewel. Thank you both.
I try to write low dependency #rstats pkgs, but this is only possible b/c R has so much built-in: stats, string manip, low/high level graphics, etc. And it is stable over time; a bedrock to build on. Me when I think about it: 🤯.
Thank you R-Core!

This shows a long history of the Tiobe index--and I take the #Rstat growth in here!
Nice article about Python and the recent changes though.
Plus, a Python/R hybrid data analysis here: github.com/TheEconomist/big-… (with a hat tip to @MattDowle)
