ducklake: Interact with DuckLake from R R package that complements duckdb and duckplyr packages to support the new DuckLake ecosystem.

Released {ducklake}: an R package for DuckLake data lakehouses πŸ¦†

I like to think of DuckLake like git for data. The package supports:

- Automatic versioning
- Time travel
- ACID transactions
- Audit trails
- tidyverse-like interface

Feedback most welcome!

Isn’t that always the case with GPL though? I.e. as long as the interpreter is kept at arm’s length it’s ok to sell your app. Makes for weird workarounds though, like I assume installing R separate from Rstudio is necessary for this reason. Clunky.

Doesn’t R itself being GPL and running under the shiny hood still present the same problem though?

That’s helpful. Somewhat contrarian position but I’m in the camp that says interpreting coefficients outside of a causal context lacks meaning. C.f. this paper with particular attention to the β€œtable 2 fallacy” section and its source reference pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
