Inspired by Amelia McNamara and with a huge amount of help from Chung-hong Chan. Communication is hard Amelia McNamara (site, Twitter) gave a talk at the useR! 2020 conference called ‘Speaking R’. Watch the video on YouTube, or take a look at the slides. To summarise greatly: R code should be speakable so that we can teach, learn and communicate with minimal friction.
