R can do anything

Post number two! Exciting!

There has been a selection pressure to do stuff in Python. Python is the corporate language of choice; everyone else uses Python. Python even makes cups of tea. Using R is a heresy.

I have started re-invigorating some of my earlier R-projects that have since been migrated into Python. During the strange COVID-esque end-of-2020 this has been a source of pleasure. I had the desire to learn some of the Tidyverse tricks and tools - it’s wonderful! The project that was formerly called nanopoRe is currently being reinvented as floundeR and I am again finding that R is a pleasure.

The webpages at sagrudd.github.io have been around for ages but never quite conquered. This Christmas break has been great for playing with some of the tools that I had been waiting to explore. I am not disappointed. This whole website is produced using the R blogdown package; the template is vanilla - I’ll change this later but it’s rather easy to play with this vanity project.

I intend to use these pages to share some thoughts and tricks … I’m getting started!
