No special magic: run Emacs with ESS (has few lines of config / preferences; I used the same since the 1990s). Emacs 'daemon' mode + server / client setup is independent of ESS and works with everything which is nice. Otherwise we did this last year:

Congratulations to @julia_edd on completing her first day in her new gig as a *senior* programmer analyst at @jhsph_hpm, mere weeks after graduating from @policycornell.
Here is a picture of her walking into the office.

I see your two RStudio sessions, and I raised you nine (named) ESS buffers inside a long-running Emacs in daemon mode with a number of Emacs client sessions :) Plus an active SQL connection to Postgres. And a bazillion other Emacs buffers.

Incredible course w/ slides, videos, extras and pointers to other resources 🤩💯 #RStats #OpenScience #ReproducibleScience
Lecture slides for my 'Data Science Programming Methods' course STAT 447 from this Fall 2021 at U of Illinois are now accessible via stat447.com covering shell (incl sed/awk), markdown, git(hub), sql, lots of #Rstats up to packaging, and Docker. Enjoy!

And here is a quick animation showing
- one command to launch the Docker container
- one command to refresh `apt` indices
- one command to install `rstan` as binary
- one command to launch #Rstats and load `rstan`
Really works as advertised 😀

Nice to see: Denmark open sources macroeconomic model used by its Ministry of Finance. Still needs GAMS (closed source) but one step at a time.

Dear Everton: I was born not too far in time and space from Juergen Klopp, Thomas Tuchel, and Ralf Rangnick. I am available, I still speak German, and I bleed Fussball. What else do you need to know before I become the next EPL Manager?

Yes, but it also works in every (Unix-ish) shell and it is not limited to @docker. I use it mostly directly on my server / desktop machines.

There is also visidata you can `apt install visidata`

I mostly use `littler` and its `r` though <grin>

There is a mailing we explicitly created for package development questions: r-package-devel. It is fairly friendly and no-nonsense. Maybe ask there? Or on StackOverflow?
But ask something specific. Your tweete did not say *what* is confusing you. #rstats

Nine months of work in to make STRICT_R_HEADERS a default in #Rcpp -- see blog post from yesterday's 1.0.8 release for more.
And really nice to see that R Core is now following in #rstats development branch. It is a better default we all should have turned on earlier.

Bi-annual release including a switch to stricter headers requiring extensive rev.dep tests and months of planning. Big Thank You! to all who helped with this!
