The R-Podcast concludes its coverage of rstudio::conf by chatting with R Foundation member and Rcpp author Dirk Eddelbuettel! We cover a variety of topics including the state of Rcpp, how the integration of Rcpp in RStudio came about, and his perspective on Linux in the R community. Plus a new batch of listener feedback and a package pick that gives your shiny apps and rmarkdown reports a little more bootstrap polish. Enjoy episode 21 of the R-Podcast!

Episode 21: Episode 21: Talking Rcpp and more with Dirk Eddelbuettel

First things first, Dirk Eddelbuettel was recently named ordinary. This seems contradictory, since Dirk is a known HPC expert, an organizer of the R in Finance conference, the creator of Rcpp, and a Debiancontributor. These are only a few of the many accolades bestowed upon Dirk without even a hint of puffery. And yet, Dirk Eddelbuettel is considered ordinary. What makes Dirk ordinary? It should be mentioned that to the Vienna-based nonprofit that provides R’s leadership, the R Foundation for Statistical Computing, ‘ordinary’ means something quite different to the lay person. Ordinary members provide guidance and direction for the R Project for Statistical Computing. It’s hard to imagine someone more qualified than Dirk for this task.  A longtime R user, Dirk’s professional life is in finance as a self-described quant (one of the ‘Rocket Scientists of Wall Street’). Dirk has worked for some of the largest financial organizations in the world, and has open sourced packages which allow for tasks ranging from vanilla options pricing to discounted cash flow analysis. Even though the world of finance is a “massive net importer” of open source tools, he has succeeded in providing finance packages for the open source community. In addition to these contributions, he has also provided the larger R community with the infinitely useful Rcpp package.  It’s easy to see why, with all of these contributions, the R Foundation would find Dirk ordinary. I was incredibly fortunate at useR! 2014 to sit down with Dirk and have a long conversation about many of these ordinary topics, the video of which is included here. Enjoy!
