alt Hacker NewsI’m not saying it doesn’t have flaws, but the tidyverse is still the most coherent and functional ML/stat computing ecosystem I’ve ever used. R packages outside of the tidyverse can get pretty gnarly. Even the R stdlib is usually considered to be inconsistent and riddled with legacy cruft.

It's certainly quite pleasant to work with...but I would rather use sql for etl, the backend be whatever it needs to be...
The real world data transformations can get gnarly very quickly and sql is the perfect common debiminator compared to dplyr which is still niche...
How do you feel about polars?

I would be in minority. But, I don't like tidyverse ecosystem. I prefer data.table for most of my uses.
