Maybe because it already does what it intends to do reasonably well? I mean, what do you think needs to be improved?
If youre unironically asserting that R already does everything well enough Im not going to take you seriously.

I'm asking what needs to be improved, in your opinion. That's a normal follow-up question that you should be able to answer. Otherwise, why are you even commenting?
Any criticism brought up you'd dismiss. Heres one: lack of native 64 bit integers.
personally, i see the value of rstudio (and in extension positron) while learning in a course, but i struggle to find its place beyond data exploration.
despite the licensing stuff, if they can provide some based defaults (removing microsoft telemetry "sauce"), it can be an ergonomic way to bring math-sided team members to share the same development platform.

No you arent, youre clearly asking in a rhetorical way. Re-read your post. Any criticism brought up you'd dismiss. Heres one: lack of native 64 bit integers.

"Does what it intends to do reasonably well" is going to be widely subjective, depending on whether the user's use-case is statistical/life-sciences vs more general purpose coding and relying on many packages; prototyping/experimentation vs production code; whether the user uses base-R, or tidyverse/data.table, etc.

No, you were clearly asserting that R already does everything needed. Stop trying to gaslight.
I know it's not always easy to extricate oneself but it's helpful to remember that the only way to 'win' is to stop.
