Microsoft acquires Revolution Analytics

Yes!

Incidentally, I already have a feature request! :-)

As a heavy C++ user (also using R for EDA & analytics), one feature I love about PTVS is mixed-mode debugging: https://pytools.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Mixed-mode%20deb...

Any chance of that for "RTVS"? Preferably with cooperation with Rcpp, http://rcpp.org/

(There's some basic support for Rcpp in RStudio -- https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200486088-Usin... -- but it's rather limited.)

FYI, daily builds of RStudio now use libclang to provide way more C++ language support including autocomplete (but not, I believe, debugging). http://www.rstudio.org/download/daily

Thanks, sounds interesting! BTW, out of curiosity, is there a way to track developments in RStudio like the one you've mentioned?

// Preview Release Notes make a note of "Code completion for C/C++", but don't mention libclang (use of which is interesting on its own, IMHO, since it better indicates the quality improvement to expect): http://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview-rel...

Debugging is partly waiting on lldb work for windows, which looks like has taken off recently.
