positron

We have hosted the application positron in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about positron:

Positron is a next-generation integrated development environment (IDE) created by Posit PBC (formerly RStudio Inc) specifically tailored for data science workflows in Python, R, and multi-language ecosystems. It aims to unify exploratory data analysis, production code, and data-app authoring in a single environment so that data scientists move from �question ? insight ? application� without switching tools. Built on the open-source Code-OSS foundation, Positron provides a familiar coding experience along with specialized panes and tooling for variable inspection, data-frame viewing, plotting previews, and interactive consoles designed for analytical work. The IDE supports notebook and script workflows, integration of data-app frameworks (such as Shiny, Streamlit, Dash), database and cloud connections, and built-in AI-assisted capabilities to help write code, explore data, and build models.

Features:

• Native support for both Python and R workflows in a unified IDE environment
• Variable/data-frame explorer pane for interactive inspection of in-memory objects
• Built-in plot pane with export and sizing controls, optimized for data-visualization workflows
• Integration with data-app frameworks (Shiny, Streamlit, Dash) enabling preview and deployment inside the IDE
• AI-assistant (Positron Assistant) and data-agent (Databot) for code suggestion, exploratory analysis, and model building
• Extensibility through Open VSX-compatible extensions, remote sessions (including WSL), and integration with cloud/DB connections

Programming Language: Python, TypeScript.
