@DataPolars x @gt_package == match made in heaven!
[BLOG POST] Styling tables is super important. Thankfully, Polars makes styling tables easy! * ䷖ Polars selectors: choose columns for styling. * 🎯Polars expressions: zero in on specific rows to highlight. * 🎨 It’s easy to color cells based on data.

I love that R is so extensible, that people can see the tidyverse and ask, but is it *R*?
Good morning. If the only things you’ve ever done with R rely on the “tidyverse,” you don’t know R, and can’t claim to. Be sure your students know this.
