Time Zone

The program is currently displayed in (GMT+03:00) Beirut.

The GMT offsets shown reflect the offsets at the moment of the conference.

Time Band

By setting a time band, the program will dim events that are outside this time window. This is useful for (virtual) conferences with a continuous program (with repeated sessions).
The time band will also limit the events that are included in the personal iCalendar subscription service.

Abstract

This talk gives an overview of the practice of meta-programming in R, a language for data science. R is a dynamic language, designed for extensibility. Meta-programming was builtin from the start together with a call-by-need evaluation model. We provide data extracted from over 17,000 packages hosted on the CRAN curated repository.
