I'm happy to share `ir`, a new command-line tool for running portable R scripts and Quarto documents. It's inspired by my two favorite parts of `uv`: self-describing scripts and tools you can run without installing first. opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-07...

ir 0.1.0: self-describing R scripts and Quarto documents

`ir` is a new command-line tool for running portable R scripts and rendering Quarto documents whose package requirements, and optional R selection, live inside the file itself.

We are thrilled to announce chatlas, a Python package that simplifies working with large language models (LLM) in Python! Chat, tool call, stream API calls, RAG, and more, with developer details like typing support and rich console output. Read the post: posit.co/blog/announc... #Python #AI

A dark blue hexagon with rounded corners containing a white silhouette of Atlas kneeling and holding two white chat bubbles above him. Below the hexagon is the word "CHATLAS" in white text. The background is a lighter blue with a pattern of white lines and dots resembling a circuit board. The Posit logo is in the corner.

Recently I've been working on getting #polars running in #pyodide. This was a fun one, even requiring patches to LLVM's #wasm writer! Everything has now been upstreamed and earlier this week Pyodide v0.27.0 released, including a Wasm build of Polars usable in Pyodide, Shinylive and Quarto Live 🎉

A screenshot of a Pyodide REPL executing Polars code: import polars as pl import requests r = requests.get("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pola-rs/polars/refs/heads/main/examples/datasets/foods2.csv") pl.read_csv(r.content).group_by("category").mean()A screenshot of a Quarto Live code cell executing Polars code: import polars as pl import requests r = requests.get("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pola-rs/polars/refs/heads/main/examples/datasets/foods2.csv") pl.read_csv(r.content).group_by("category").mean()A screenshot of a Shinylive app using Polars code: from shiny import App, render, ui import polars as pl from pathlib import Path app_ui = ui.page_fluid( ui.input_select("cyl", "Select Cylinders", choices=["4", "6", "8"]), ui.output_data_frame("filtered_data") ) def server(input, output, session): df = pl.read_csv(Path(__file__).parent / "mtcars.csv") @output @render.data_frame def filtered_data(): return (df .filter(pl.col("cyl") == int(input.cyl())) .select(["mpg", "cyl", "hp"])) app = App(app_ui, server)
