I recently switched to using {{ x }} instead of muddling my way through a mix of
x <- enquo(x)
!!x
sym(x)
It's been such an improvement, I thought it must've been a recent {rlang} update...
Then I found out it came out *before* I started using R 💀💀💀

There is an era of #Bioinformaticians who learned #R #RLang back when #Python #PythonLang wasn't very good at statistics/plotting. More recently, the trend has shifted towards the latter.

Ever needed to recode a variable based on whether it matches something in a named list? Have you ever used rlang's `!!!` operator? It's pretty dang cool. I feel like {rlang} is so cool, but so enigmatic 😂 #rstats

Starting with R can be overwhelming. The wrong setup can slow you down, and make the learning curve steeper. But it doesn’t have to be this way. 🛠️

This has significantly reduced the amount of "upkeep" work we do in tidymodels.

I wish rlang better advertised its standalone typechecker functions. they are meant to be “installed” into an R package with usethis::use_standalone()

What's the most troublesome #rstats masking situation for you? For me its flatten() every dang time. #tidyverse has #purrr flatten, jsonlite has flatten, and #rlang has it, too. I'm USUALLY looking for jsonlite::flatten, but sometimes I'm using jsonlite for something else and wanting purrr's

so far in this function i've used base::quote(), rlang::enexpr(), rlang::englue(), rlang::sym(), rlang::expr() for bubbling names. and i've used .data[[name]], !! name, {{ name }} for unbubbling names.
