If you use more than one language, or you are on a multi-language team, you will likely find Quarto’s native support for multiple languages appealing. It’s not a language-specific library, but an external software application.Īfter a soft launch of several months, Quarto was a major theme of this year’s RStudio Conference in late July.

Those are two of the reasons RStudio has developed Quarto, a next-generation, R Markdown-like publishing system. Plus, while you could run additional languages besides R within an R Markdown code chunk, it still was fundamentally built for R. And as more capabilities were added via external R packages, syntax for basic tasks became inconsistent depending on, for example, whether output was a stand-alone HTML document, HTML slide presentation, or something else.

I don't want to install unnecessary packages on my Windows setup so I have tested this on Posit Cloud but it should be very similar for you: library(reticulate)
