R Language Collective

unfreeze Sloshy is here! (See profile for details)

@M-- Per your request elsewhere, I am posting here to indicate that it's fine to add Natty and Queen to this room

@Berthold @Sasha is it ok if we add Sloshy to this room? You can also add it pretty easily. Just create a pull request, mention that you are the room owner in the request, and this to the sloshy.yaml file:

Anyway, this is clearly a big topic without necessarily a consensus in the community, so I wonder whether we should recommend one canonical answer at all .

@Sotos Yes, I totally understand wanting to recommend base R instead of bloated dependencies. Unfortunately R really shows its origin as a statistical tool here: it simply does not have proper solutions for dependency management built in

@KonradRudolph Yes. I know your question was not about duplicates. You were focused on recommended answers. What I meant was that questions that get asked multiple times are prime candidates for assigning recommended answers.
