Nice analysis, but...
...here's something I find astonishing.
The word "R" doesn't appear anywhere in this article.
He doesn't mention anywhere that he's using "R", and within "R" he's using the "tidyverse".
So much good work to write a tutorial, but a rank beginner will have a hard time figuring out how to replicate it.
- hughlilly 4y agoYeah I had no idea what he was using til I read your comment. I thought it was Python but it didn't look enough like Python…
- redrobein 4y agoThe code blocks blending in with the rest of the post and the code itself is very aesthetically pleasing. I thought it was julia at first glance.
- thefringthing 4y agoI'd prefer if the `tufte` theme would render the "|>" pipes as "▷" but I wasn't prepared to do that level of tinkering.
- thefringthing 4y agoI will consider adding a section mentioning the tools! (I'm the author of this page.)
- yreg 4y agoI really like the design/typography of the article. Pleasant and elegant.
- thefringthing 4y agoIt's a recreation of the style used by Edward Tufte, who wrote an influential book on data visualization.
- freeqaz 4y agoI was wondering if it was R or Datalog. Thank you! I did something similar to this with SQLite once. That was fun.
