Point being, this is surprising. There are so many women doing incredible work in the R space, and it has such a good rep for inclusivity in c.f. to e.g. Python. But Python has had several women in their core dev team (which is only about 2 - 3 times the size of the R team).

I’m sure the reasons for the R core team being all male is multifaceted - but I do hope they can take (or are already taking!) steps to find, mentor, and retain women.

@djnavarro@fosstodon.org You’re very welcome, and thanks for the shout out! Apparently this change was quietly introduced in 4.0.0, so I’m not surprised that it is relatively unknown https://www.r-bloggers.com/2020/05/mining-r-4-0-0-changelog-for-nuggets-of-gold-1-stopifnot/amp/

@djnavarro@fosstodon.org Awesome post, I think I have lots to learn from this, especially about the tabular data at the end. One addition if I may: stopifnot can produce informative messages. You have to provide it in the named arg way, like stopifnot(“Value is not scalar” = length(value) == 1) I’ve been using this method for asserting that inputs to functions are robustly checked. It can get ugly. But there’s no package dependencies… but maybe a minimum R version 🤔 I can’t remember when it was introduced.
