This is just one of the reasons I love R (#rstats). These CRAN tasks views give you such a wonderful way to browse the excellent work of researchers in fields you may never have paid any attention to otherwise. Excellently written and summarised for your enjoyment. bsky.app/profile/zeil...

#rstats friends, I have a question. Say I'm looking to open R quickly in a terminal; not an IDE or a fancy GUI. How do I achieve the best experience in doing so? Like the best pop-up auto-complete, syntax highlighting etc? Is radian the answer? Or an emacsclient window with inferior ESS? Or Ark?
