After the Python world got so many new tools, thanks to the people at Astral, I was super exited to see that the R world is trying to catch up.
In particular, Posit made a Rust backed R language server and formatter called Air.
Then, for no other particular reason than to see how it is done, I created a package for AUR the Arch User Repository of contributed packages. You can find it here: r-air-bin.
Why is it named r-air?
Because there is already a binary named Air: a Go library Air. In order not to overwite the user’s system that may have the Go binary, the name of the binary for the formatter is r-air.
