" summary

RStudio reports 5 million runs per week and design lessons focus on watching users not just reading issue trackers, which leads to concrete features: a calculator-like console, breakpoints, and a data viewer optimized for heavy use. Positron is built on VS Code’s extension host so R and Python ship as language extensions, with an API for add-ins and extensions. The Positron data viewer supports a million rows and columns and can export viewer actions to reproducible code, balancing ergonomics with reproducibility.
