What is Positron?
Positron is a newer IDE from Posit, built on the same underlying technology as VS Code but tailored for data science work in R and Python. It combines a modern, extensible editor with the data-focused features R users expect, like a variables pane and integrated plots. It's becoming the default recommendation for new R and data science setups.
