positron

It is not open source simply because it does not conform to the OSI definition of open source [1], which is what everyone understands open source to be. This license particularly places restrictions on how the software and derivative works can be used in hosted services ([2], links from their site.) And to your latter point, both free/open licenses allow commercial use; in fact, restricting commercial use would make the license non-free. What is annoying is companies redefining these terms for PR, especially when they end up confusing the newer generations among the crowd.

An adjacent feature we're considering for that is respecting Quarto's plot dimensions when rendering to our own Plots pane: https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/issues/3676 Inline plots are pretty challenging, especially in source mode since (so far) Positron mostly lets the Monaco editor surface do its thing. In visual mode, we've already got our own custom webview so there's an easier onramp.

It is among our most upvoted feature requests! It is under consideration. Inline output has proven to be a pretty divisive feature; a sizable proportion of users don't like input output at all and consider it a misfeature in RStudio. See e.g. https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/5280 Out of curiosity, do you prefer source or visual mode when working with inline Quarto output? You can follow the Positron feature request over here: https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/issues/5640

https://github.com/posit-dev/positron The source code looks very open. This moving the goal posts of open-source to exclude anyone making money off of it is annoying. I can get the project for FREE and I can see the source code and make changes to it. How is it not open source? Because I can't also turn around and sell it?

I work on Positron and we are tracking interest in that here, if you would like to add a thumbs up or additional info: https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/issues/3679

There seems to be a GH discussion wherein they explain the choice: https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/discussions/3820 If you find that interesting, there are actually quite a few others https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte-platform/blob/main/LICE... https://github.com/apollographql/federation/blob/main/LICENS... https://github.com/PeerDB-io/peerdb/blob/main/LICENSE.md

Why not mix R and Python in interactive analysis workflows: 1) Download positron: https://github.com/posit-dev/positron 2) Set up a quarto (.qmd) notebook 3) Set up R and Python code chunks in tour quarto document 4a) Use reticulate to spawn a Python session inside R and exchange objects beween both languages (https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/pull/4603) 4b) Write a few helper functions that pass objects between R and Python by reading/writing a temporary file.

I dunno why you would blog about, and even create a blog tag for, Positron without linking to it :-/ https://github.com/posit-dev/positron (Elastic V2)

The Rstudio project Positron isnt quite the same - but its super dope: https://www.appsilon.com/post/introducing-positron https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/blob/main/README.md

You should check out Positron, which is currently beta. It's created by Posit (the company formerly known as RStudio). https://github.com/posit-dev/positron

Positron isn't supposed to be a replacement for RStudio for all use cases (especially not this early in its lifecycle!). If you open your package folder in Positron (as opposed to the Rproj file itself) I think you'll find it has most of the commands you need for package development in the Palette. We do hope to add better GUI tooling for project-level actions; more info here: https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/issues/1486

Hey! Product Manager for RStudio here (and Positron). We have no plans to stop development or maintenance on RStudio, and are committed to it for our users, both paid and community. While Positron and RStudio have some features in common, some R-focused features will remain exclusive to RStudio. If you're currently using RStudio and are happy with the experience, you can continue to enjoy RStudio. RStudio includes 10+ years of applied optimizations for R data analysis and package development. Cross-posting the FAQ: https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/wiki/Frequently-Asked-...
