Quasiquotation: Learning about the bang bang and curly curly slang

Welcome!

In our next session Paloma Rojas-Saunero will share the key points on quasiquotation and useful tools from the rlang package. We will also learn about curly-curly, a new operator to make it easier to create functions around #tidyverse pipelines.

After that, we'll try some exercises together and help each other clear up any doubts and get over any hurdles related to it.

About "Quasiquotation" (Chapter 19, Advanced R)

The package rlang has tools that you can use to capture (quote) unevaluated function arguments. You’ll also learn about quasiquotation, which provides a set of techniques to unquote input to make it possible to easily generate new trees from code fragments.
