Abstract: In early 2022, intrepid scientist Dr. George Stagg created the first WebAssembly (WASM) version of R — dubbed "WebR" — and captured the imagination of scores of RStats enthusiasts. One year later, WebR 0.1.x has been unleashed, and has expanded the R universe to every browser on every device across the galaxy. In this session, we'll take a WebR-slinging journey into and through the WebR-Verse, explaining what it is, the heroic efforts taken to bring it to life, why it is a game-changer for R, and show you practical examples of how to tap into the potential of this amazing new technology, and sling WebR apps of your own.
