The R-Podcast's coverage of rstudio::conf 2018 begins!  I have the pleasure of speaking with Romain Francois and Thomas Lin Pedersen.  You'll hear Romain's thoughts on the growth of Rcpp and the project that helped him become closer to the R community.  We also learn about Thomas' journey to enhancing ggplot2 and the new packages he's developed covering network analyses and dynamic APIs from R.  I hope you enjoy episode 23 of the R-Podcast!

Episode 23: rstudio::conf 2018 Chats with Romain Francois and Thomas Lin Pedersen

At the useR! 2014 conference, without a doubt one of the overriding themes was R’s history, legacy, and future as an interface into the “best of the best” algorithms which were available. Romain Francois’ package, Rcpp11, is at the forefront and was explicitly showcased as one of the ways in which R was staying true to it’s roots as an interface.  An R programmer for over a decade, Romain started as an “R first” developer, only later moving to more traditional software engineering languages. In this interview, Romain and I discuss a wide range of topics, from R’s history as an interface for algorithms, through Romain’s experiences in HPC and his collaboration with Hadley Wickham on dplyr. Romain also shares a little bit about his other passion, stand-up comedy.
