As an experienced '. R.' developer, I often find myself using packages to enhance my workflow. Are there any hidden gems - lesser-known packages or functions - that you've come across and found particularly useful in your projects?
Absolutely! One package that comes to mind is 'tidyverse'. While it's not exactly a hidden gem, it's a collection of packages that work together seamlessly, making data manipulation and visualization a breeze.
