What we’re about
The Southern California R Users Group (SoCal RUG) Meetup Group explores and discusses R and how it is being used in data science, data analysis, visualization, data mining, predictive analytics, and beyond. People of all levels are welcome to attend, from those just getting started with R and predictive modelling to experts using R every day.

See all- Tidier.jl: The Story Behind Rebuilding the {tidyverse} in JuliaKeck Center, Orange, CA
How far would you be willing to go to make {tidyverse} faster? Would you learn C? Would you learn C++? For the people and teams behind packages like {data.table} and {collapse}, writing low-level code was the secret sauce for producing substantial performance gains over the canonical {tidyverse}. Yet tidyverse remains popular because of its interface and consistent design. Even within R, this interface has been reimplemented for multiple backends in packages like {dtplyr}, {tidytable}, {duckplyr}, {dbplyr}, and {tidypolars}. So many backends exist because as an interpreted language, R itself isn’t ideal for writing performant backend code – hence the popularity of {Rcpp}.
In January of 2023, Karandeep Singh decided to make {tidyverse} go faster by rewriting it in Julia, a just-in-time compiled language that has syntax similar to R but performance akin to C/C++. It began as a single package: Tidier.jl
With contributions from around the world, it has since expanded to 10+ packages implementing a majority of the {tidyverse}. This talk tells the story behind how Tidier.jl came to be, what it can do, and why Julia is worth a look for R users.
Meeting Location:
We'll be meeting at the Keck Center @ Chapman University room N107/N109. The space has a 40-person limit - If you RSVP but are unable to attend, please update your RSVP promptly to accommodate others interested in attending. If you show up prior to 6:30pm, please note that the doors to the facility may be locked.Meeting Time:

Food and beverages will be catered by SoCal RUG for this event.Parking:
The best parking option will be the Anderson Parking Structure conveniently next to the Chapman's Keck Center. From the entrance of the Anderson Parking Structure, navigate to the elevator on the far side of the parking structure. Take the elevator to the 1st floor, and you'll find yourself in an outdoor atrium. As you’re exiting the elevator, turn left through the glass doors into Swenson Hall. Continue down the hallway past the MakerSpace and the Ideation Zone (rooms N107/109) will be on your left. While street parking is an option, it may require a valid Chapman parking pass depending on the street you're on - Please pay attention to street signage and see everyone tonight!Legal Disclaimer:
