Hadley Wickham | An introduction to R7 | RStudio (2022)

str_reverse doesn't exist in stringr, but we have strings::stri_reverse, for those wondering :)

[@Dreaming-11]

Great addition to R system, congratulations for the effort

[@CaryReams]

I smell a syntactic sugar pre-compiler brewing, ala typescript and babel. As its input, a classical OO class definition; as output, a package of new_generic(), method(), and new_class() statements.

[@meryplays8952]

When are we seeing it in base R? I think it is better than both S3 and S4.

[@meryplays8952]

Now it is called S7.

[@postylem]

came here to say this.

[@mubangansofu7469]

correct S3+S4 = S7 .... reminds me of my chemistry classes back in high school years ago! great addition to R

[@DaarShnik]

Couldn't a method check if thr generic is not available then create one... Rather then defining an empty line for generic which doesn't make much sense...❤

[@赵兵-j7x]

Could I use R7 for package development? tried ,failed;
