  • Frustration: One Year with R

    This was fun to play around with. I made some very minor changes and posted at https://gist.github.com/hadley/d54895557fbb0fe0402d2277b9011....

    It revealed to me that there's a buglet in `forcats::last()` (https://github.com/tidyverse/forcats/issues/303) and made me wonder if `pivot_longer()` should be able to rename the columns as you pivot them (https://github.com/tidyverse/tidyr/issues/1338)

  • What are your thoughts on data.table vs tidyverse vs tidy syntax with data.table backends (dtplyr, tidytable) in R?
    2 projects | /r/datascience | 24 Feb 2021
    I originally wrote tidytable because dtplyr was missing a lot of functionality my coworkers and I needed, and at the time dtplyr looked like a "forgotten package" (lots of open issues/bugs, very infrequent updates). Hadley Wickham also mentioned at one point [he had no plans for adding tidyr functions)[https://github.com/tidyverse/tidyr/issues/1015#issuecomment-682977139]. He changed his mind on that one - tidyr functions are the ones that I'm in the process of contributing to dtplyr now.
