Yeah, I agree, paste's recycling rules are sometimes painful. This could be "fixed" with a nice

Hello, I am trying to setup a private CRAN for work (behind a firewall). The best options available include miniCRAN <https://github.com/RevolutionAnalytics/miniCRAN>, drat <https://github.com/eddelbuettel/drat> and packrat <https://rstudio.github.io/packrat/>. One problem is these packages do not automatically generate the web pages that are on the CRAN. Examples:

Hi, first time poster here. During my time using R, I have always found string concatenation to be (what I feel is) unnecessarily complicated by requiring the use of the paste() or similar commands. When searching for how to concatenate strings in R, several top search results show answers that say to write your own function or override the '+' operator. Sample code like the following

I could do this...and I have before. This brings up a more fundamental question though. You're asking me to write code that changes the logic of the installation process (i.e. writing my own package installer). Instead of doing that, I would rather integrate that logic into R itself to improve the baseline installation process. This api proposal change would be additive and would not break

...ion would still occur every time the script was run. The last thing to note is that there are at least 2 packages which provide a function which does this already (install.load and remotes), so people can get this functionality if they need it.

While developing a package, I often run install.packages() on it many times in a session without updating its version number. How would your proposed change affect this workflow?

Hello, I have been having issues using parallel::mclapply in a memory-efficient way and would like some guidance. I am using a 40 core machine with 96 GB of RAM. I've tried to run mclapply with 20, 30, and 40 mc.cores and it has practically brought the machine to a standstill each time to the point where I do a hard reset. When running mclapply with 10 mc.cores, I can see that each process

Hello, Currently if you install a package twice: install.packages("testit") install.packages("testit") R will build the package from source (depending on what OS you're using) twice by default. This becomes especially burdensome when people are using big packages (i.e. lots of depends) and someone has a script with: install.packages("tidyverse") ... ... later

One of the poster's on the SO post I linked to previously suggested this but if '+' were made to be S4 compliant, then adding the ability to concat strings with '+' would be a relatively simple addition (no pun intended) to the code base I believe. With a lot of other languages supporting this kind of concatenation, this is what surprised me most when first learning R. This is

Would number+string and string+number cause errors (as in current > '+' in R and python) or coerce both to strings (as in current R:paste and in perl's '+'). I had posted this sample code previously to demonstrate how string concatenation could be implemented
