I’ve just published {typeR}, a small R package that lets you simulate live typing. It prints code
To install:
devtools::install_github("fgazzelloni/typeR")
If you teach or demo R, I’d love your feedback on how it works for you. #rstats #rpackages

#rstats The fantastic `collapse` package has just put out a big new release that includes joins and pivot (reshape) functionality. This essentially makes it "data wrangling Turing complete" in addition to being very fast. More details at the shiny new website. sebkrantz.github.io/collapse/

* stands for the name of the respective key glyp...
