The rebrand makes a lot of sense, as the interest and support for Python in the DS/ML community keeps growing. I prefer R for data exploration and visualization, but knowing and leveraging both languages seems to be the way forward. Shiny for Python is a very interesting development.

Kudos to RStudio (Posit) for delivering great product over the last decade+ and growing a kind, helpful community!

Quarto is absolutely game changing.

RStudio the company changes name. RStudio the IDE will remain named as such (for time being at least).

I'm currently rebuilding my personal website with it and I'm really impressed. As with most RStudio products I've encountered over the years, I find it is intuitive, well documented, and quite powerful. I also think RStudio has played an important role in making the R community quite pleasant and inclusive.

From Hadley's video blurb, the ringer is when he states "things just work" in the R environment vis-à-vis python (where he tactfully yet implicitly acknowledges the shitshow that is the python library/package/environment management).

Kudos to the R community and supporters for providing a great and useful platform!

I don't want to speak for the person above, but I've used it a bit. It's like Jupyter Notebook with an eye towards producing really nice looking documents. It's pretty easy to use, though they are still working on it and it may not be feature-complete yet.

How different is it from RMarkdown? I thought is was supposed to be quite similar. Because that is really nice to use when preparing analyses for collaborators. I’d like to get back to having more “compiled” style notebooks for things aside from just R.

It’s not just the company.

Some RStudio products change their name - the “enterprise” offering.

Another RStudio product doest’t - the open-source IDE.
