We have been building a package manager for R inspired by Cargo in Rust. The main idea behind rv is to be explicit about the R version in use as well as declaring which dependencies are used in a rproject.toml file for a given project. There's no renv::snapshot equivalent, everything needs to be declared up front, the config file (and resulting lockfile) is the source of truth. This avoids issue where renv might miss information about the installation and is also easy to tweak some packages,

SQL-tString is a SQL builder that utilises the recently accepted PEP-750, https://peps.python.org/pep-0750/, t-strings to build SQL queries, for example,
