Really impressed!

I was looking for the Buy button when I saw the link to github.

Completely off-topic, but the first thing I thought of when I saw this was R-Studio, an old file/disk recovery software. I was surprised to see that the R IDE has a trademark on "RStudio" (in both US and Canada) given that the former has been around for at least a decade. I guess R-Tools just never cared to file for a TM?

AGPL license, interesting. I suppose the plan is to monetize with a hosting/SaaS service?

Edit: Found the answer on their blog:

> RStudio is also a company, and we plan to sell services (support, training, consulting, hosting) related to the open-source software we distribute.

Very slick UI. How is this done? Is the main UI HTML/Javscript or QT? I guess it's good that I can't immediately tell.

Thanks! It's HTML/Javascript. (Note that you can use it as a webapp, we couldn't do that with Qt obviously)

I was browsing through the web server implementation:

https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/tree/master/src/cpp/core/...

Can anyone familiar with writing web servers in C comment on this? For instance, how full featured is it? How useful is the code for learning about web servers?

But you make native dialog calls too?

Care to expand on how Qt, GWT, pure Javascript mix? I think you guys have really pulled off something great in terms of cross platform support and the web.

You're better off looking at the Boost ASIO examples here, which the RStudio code was originally based on. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/doc/html/boost_asio/exa...
