Introducing Positron, a new data science IDE
summary
Positron is a newly public early beta IDE (six weeks) that runs R and Python via language packs and aims to be extensible to other languages; it ships a new Ark R kernel speaking the Jupyter protocol, a language-server based code assistance layer, and a debugger that even steps from R into C/C++ code. The UI centers on a four-pane data science layout, includes a Data Explorer that scrolls 31 million rows responsively, an interpreter selector for virtualenv/conda/rig, and is a Code OSS fork with VS Code extension support.
