RStudio: A Single Home for R & Python - Webinar Discussion

What was Covered

Many Data Science teams today leverage both R and Python in their work, but struggle to use them together. Data Science leaders and their business partners find it difficult to make key data science content easily discoverable and available for decision-making, while IT Admins and DevOps engineers grapple with how to efficiently support these teams without duplicating infrastructure. Even experienced data scientists familiar with both languages often struggle to combine them without painful context switching and manual translations.

In this webinar, you will learn how RStudio helps organizations tackle these challenges, with a focus on some of the recent additions to our products that have helped deepen the happy relationship between R and Python:

Easily combine R and Python in a single Data Science project using a single IDE.

Leverage a single infrastructure to launch and manage Jupyter Notebooks, JupyterLab, VSCode and the RStudio IDE, while giving your team easy access to Kubernetes and other resources.

Share and manage access to R- and Python-based interactive applications, dashboards, and APIs, all in a single place.

Hi,
Could you tell me if Rstudio supports python integration via windows subsystem for Linux like PyCharm or VS code?
Thank you

Are there plans to bring full Julia integration into RStudio? It works in markdown cells via JuliaCall. Also currently .julia files get the syntax highlighting in RStudio (indicating it seems some capability is there) but not .jl files for some reason, and you cannot run either.

It would be nice to have 1 place to interface between all 3 of R/Python/Julia.

Welcome!

Not yet, we have limited resources and so we’re focused on R and Python right now but are watching Julia closely.

Welcome!

RStudio’s python support does not depend on the windows subsystem for linux

We had a lot of great questions during the webinar, and so plan a blog post responding to most. Expect a link to that here soon.
