If a C-level executive says, "Posit is not about pivoting from R to Python...", then most likely, it's about pivoting from R to Python.

It's Hadley Wickham of R's tidyverse though, so I'm more inclined to believe the claim.
its a beautiful thing when personal credibility cuts through generic cynicism :)
I'd be shocked if they drop R but I'd dance a jig if they can have the Python experience be as good in their IDE. I despise notebooks (i could write an essay), and developing with vs code is still very very clunky in comparison.
Why do you despise notebooks? Optimized for reading over developing/running?
