Folks,

I stumbled apon tidyverse.org which caught my eye. It is "R packages for data science". I do not know how easy it would be to intergrate it with tiddlywiki but many of its packages would be useful for displaying or interogating data in tiddlers.

Just sharing for those that may be intereted or have the skills to dig deeper.

Hi Tony - you actually hit on (Tidyverse) something I'm familiar with as my day job is in Data Analytics / Data Science and R is one of the key languages (along with Python). I suspect it'd be very difficult to integrate as it's not Javascript based like most of the other things that I see integrated, but if it *could* somehow be integrated that would be AMAZING.

I have been able to call R packages from a quick node.js app I wrote. I can see the appeal of a workflow where youb could trigger an R job from a node TW instance. Interesting...

Best,

Ciao TW Tones

It IS interesting. But R is a Whole World in itself: "In R, the fundamental unit of shareable code is the package. A package bundles together code, data, documentation, and tests, and is easy to share with others." (https://r-pkgs.org/intro.html).

I am totally UNCLEAR how you could use R in TW? Seems like re-package of package?

Best wishes

TT,

I am thinking more of importing the functionality and its clear there is no simple route (I did not know that before others responses including you own).
