I like and despise R... WHY DO I HAVE TO COPY THE TEXT FROM MY CONSOLE INTO A SCRIPT TO ACTUALLY SAVE IT AS AN .R FILE????
Because it's a console, not an IDE. But I see your frustration and does seem ridiculous
Maan, I am way too much of a himbo chemical engineering student yo understand what IDE means, had to channel my inner parent and ask a software guy for help
I am currently arguing with par() and coming back here to shitpost when I get too angry.
EDIT: OMG https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56497422/using-jupyter-r-kernel-with-visual-studio-code finally an IDE with SENSE
You don't really have to. You could save the workspace along with the history of you commands to load it at a later time, and never have a script at all.
The reason nobody really does that (except maybe if they use R once in every decade) is that it's not really viable in the middle-term. That is because it doesn't distinguish between failed attempts and actual, final code and so quickly becomes a mess.
