Data journalists often run Python in “JupyterLab”, an open-source web application that creates documents that allow you to import data, run code and create visualisations.

Positron is Posit's new, free IDE for data science. Users can work with Python and R. It explicitly does not replace RStudio.

Instead, many of the newer tools for project management, code formatting, and now type checking, are written in Rust. This isn’t a swipe at Python; every language has its place.
