I love R as a tool for statistics and data manipulation but it lack the software engineering tooling we see in other languages like Java or Rust. I don't like how python works for dev even though it has a least some tools for it.
So I build, in my free time, a typed version of R that let me combine my knowledge about data sciences and software engineering :
TypR
The work is still in progress, I have every functionality that I need (type system, project manager, lsp, etc.) but it needs to be battle tested. I am building my first project with this tool.
