Debugging Compiled Code for R with Positron
a new IDE by the creators of RStudio that’s built on VSCode’s open source core, but layered with extra bells and whistles for R (and Python, if that’s your thing). And those bells and whistles’ music is particularly well tuned for R developers working with compiled code, which was always a rather rough experience in RStudio.
Positron is a new IDE by the creators of RStudio that’s built on VSCode’s open source core, but layered with extra bells and whistles for R (and Python, if that’s your thing). You can use it to catch errors, perform code refactoring, and even check the size of structs (including automatically inserted padding!). What’s really cool is the ability to see the full call stack, and interactively jump around and inspect the current state of the program at any point.
