What is R Again?
Great presentation by John Chambers at UseR! 2006 https://www.r-project.org/conferences/useR-2006/Slides/Chambers.pdf 
The times have changed, now R is very much suited for production use and not just an academic research language
Highly recommend reading Advanced R for more comprehensive details on the quirks of the language https://adv-r.hadley.nz/index.html 
R VS Python for Data?
Different philosophies on the use of the language
CRAN vs PyPi 
Interoperability becoming more mainstream now
Visualization: R has always been leaps and bounds ahead (Grammar of Graphics, interactive widgets, etc)
R Dev Stack?
IDEs: RStudio, now Positron https://positron.posit.co/ 
Managing package installations with renv https://rstudio.github.io/renv/ 
Building web apps with Shiny: https://shiny.posit.co/ (I got so engrossed in this space that I created the Shiny Developer Series because of it)
Early adopter of using Docker with R in devcontainers with VS-Code. 
New tech I’m excited about to enhance dev stacks and sharing apps
WebAssembly with webR https://docs.r-wasm.org/webr/latest/ 
Shiny apps in webR? Yes you can https://github.com/RConsortium/submissions-pilot4-webR
