[R] Positron as a tool

[@vi@e@gross m@iii@g oii gm@ii@com]

This is just an FYI based on a news item I saw tonight.
 
There have been discussions on what editors or environments people can use
when working with R and I personally have mostly been using versions of
RSTUDIO and lately for both R and python. As often noted, RSTUDIO is a
product of a company, currently still largely free and they have some tweaks
that can cause issues.
 
The news article mentions a future project as described below, if anyone is
interested, that may be a nice alternative similar (and based on) what some
use for programming in multiple languages. Again, I am noty suggesting
anyone use it, albeit I plan on trying it out when it is a bit further
along.
 
The current name seems to be Positron, to sort of go with the new name of
the company behind RSTUDIO, which is now Posit. Nothing to do with Asimov's
Positronic Brains, LOL!
 
Here is a reference if anyone is interested.
