| Sep 6, 2020 at 8:11 | comment | added | Dominic van Essen | @qrt I never use it normally, but I'd also be interested to know if it could be golf-competitive (especially as the %>% paradigm almost makes it into a different language variant to base R). Obviously, the usual need to include tidyverse::, dplyr:: or library(tidyverse) would normally be a disincentive (especially for short challenges), but it would still be interesting to see whether a 'non-competing' R+tidyverse entry that omitted these characters could ever/often beat base R. Are you tempted to try? | |
| Sep 5, 2020 at 22:06 | comment | added | qwr | As a frequent tidyverse user, I'm curious if anyone has a tidyverse answer that beats a base R answer. | |
| Sep 4, 2020 at 17:31 | comment | added | Robin Ryder | @DLosc Sounds good; if you can get in unfrozen, I am sure a few of us regular R golfers can keep it active. | |
| Sep 3, 2020 at 23:55 | comment | added | DLosc | @RobinRyder Well, shoot. I tried to look for one, but "R" is impossible to search for, so I didn't find it. I could see about getting that unfrozen. There's no content to speak of in the new one yet. | |
| Sep 3, 2020 at 13:12 | comment | added | Robin Ryder | There is already a (now frozen) chatroom for golfing in R: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/81960/golfr ; shouldn't we resuscitate it rather than open a new chatroom? | |

| Sep 3, 2020 at 0:38 | comment | added | DLosc | @Giuseppe Makes sense to me, but I think a mod has to do that. | |
| Sep 2, 2020 at 17:08 | comment | added | Giuseppe | Also can we get a featured on here? | |
| Sep 2, 2020 at 17:03 | comment | added | Giuseppe | @DominicvanEssen You can also post an R-themed challenge. In the past I've done a couple of challenges implementing some of R's more interesting built-ins (fivenum, nextn, and match if I recall correctly), and I have a couple more in the Sandbox at the moment (jitter and ave). I'm also toying with having people implement some statistical routines (e.g., given a dataset calculate the empirical CDF / Kaplan-Meier estimator for survival function) but I'm struggling with the I/O a little. | |

| Sep 2, 2020 at 16:00 | comment | added | Dominic van Essen | I have in mind something like choosing a small selection of existing challenges that work well in R (so: not text-based challenges!), so that any/everyone that's interested could focus on the same set... | |
| Sep 2, 2020 at 15:59 | comment | added | Dominic van Essen | This is very exciting, and (as one of the few [but hopefully about to become many] contributors in R) I'm very happy that R has been chosen. Apart from continuing to post anwsers in R, is there anything else that I could do to help or encourage others? | |
