Despite claims that "R is dead" on social media, 2025 has been an incredible year for #rstats:
💻 {ellmer} wrapping LLM APIs;
💻 {mcptools} & {mcpr} implementing MCP connections for R;
💻 Native parallel processing in {purrr} via {mirai}
What else are you excited about?

Publishing fake, AI-generated stories and images of victims is not only a dangerous distortion. Such fabrication disrespects victims and misuses those people who try to learn and remember.
If you see such posts, please don’t share them. Instead, follow the official Auschwitz Memorial page, where every name, every photo, and every story is based on rigorous historical research and the utmost respect for the truth.

you can now interact with this demo here: try.ambiorix.dev/contact-app
we're working to have a gallery of smol showcase apps built with ambiorix.
more coming soon. we're just getting started. like Thanos, but in R.
in chapter 3 of hypermedia systems (great book, btw), the authors talk about a simple contact management web app, with basic CRUD functionality.
found it worth to implement a variation of that using ambiorix.
you gotta love that pagination + filtering!

Programmers are taught explicitly in all industry standard training curriculums to architect first, then write the code that does anything later—the exactly wrong way to program.
Many game devs struggle with "architecture"
Either they think everything needs to be planned in minute detail and they force everything into some pre-defined "good structure"
Or, they give little thought to it and end up with spaghetti code
I think this is one of the rare instances where the middle way is actually the right way
Plans let you start in a direction, but there will always be unknown

This is a reply from an official Cursor dev (look at the organization badge). Bro's being genuine. He's DM-ing me to give Pro. This is everything you need to know about the people "building" our future. Transforming higher level languages to Assembly is a Technology from 1950s.

the five R devs who use ambiorix are very brave
ALT the meme "i like men who take risks" with the caption "i'm betting my entire career on an unknown R web framework"

over the next couple of months i'll be rawdogging YT videos about R (mostly building web apps using ambiorix).
a video a week, no pre-recording, minimal/no edits.
if that's your shtick, you can start with the "Intro to Ambiorix" vid linked in the comments:
