I will take the bait: the post assumes AI (here genAI) and vibe coding is the next big thing.

This post contains very few about the economy of a programing language (who pays for it, who builds it/maintains it and for what).

I will repeat myself competitors of #R are not #Python it is GUI interfaces like power BI and cloud vendors. For them it makes sense to just build bridges with Python (and maybe JS). If they are the "future of data science" then: Python.

The {ragnar} #RStats 📦 for doing RAG (retrieval augmented generation) with R has been submitted to CRAN 🎉 ragnar.tidyverse.org/news/inde

In other #GenAI R news: the new {kuzco} #RStats 📦 for computer vision works with local #LLMs in R for classification, recognition, sentiment, text extraction and alt-text generation. posit.co/blog/kuzco-computer-v

Happy to see #R #GenAI activity heating up
