How does RStudio have little interest in interoperability with other languages? They produce the reticulate package[1] to allow calling Python code for R, they have added support for Python to RMarkdown and RStudio[2], they let you host Python apps on their RStudio Connect product[3], they sponsor Ursa Labs to work on the Arrow project for easy data interchange[4].

Then things are a lot better now than they were when I was using it actively, and I take back that criticism.
You're not wrong in the substance of your rant though, but unfortunately it does appear that the ship has sailed and we're stuck with jupyter.

I really need to get a handle on ein, for when I'm inevitably dumped back into a notebook-driven environment (hard to avoid in DS these days).
