syl20bnr ebe4c60264 Revert "Defer packages by default using use-package-always-defer"
This reverts commit 29c78ce841 and all other fixes
that have been made afterwards.

The motivation is that use-package is seen by many as a replacement for
`require`. Is use-package always defer the loading of packages then is breaks
this use case, this does not respect POLA so even if it was making Spacemacs
loading faster (up to 3s faster on some startup on my machine) we just cannot
use it, it would be irresponsible. Spacemacs should be easy to use, loading
performance will come with time but it is not a priority.

ESS (R) layer

/TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/2be6e4e338b98e3347167cb25f29e424a331ba03/layers/+lang/ess/img/r.jpg

Description

This layer adds support for statistical programming languages to Spacemacs.

Features:

  • Syntax highlighting
  • Auto-completion
  • Syntax-checking via lintr
  • Additional data viewer for R via ess-R-data-view
  • Support for Org-Babel
  • Better 'equals' behavior via ess-smart-equals
  • Showing of inline help for R constructs
  • Repl support via R terminal
  • Support for S, SAS and R
  • Much more via the ESS Project

Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add ess to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

Also install lintr library via the R terminal to enable syntax checking. To do so start the R terminal and type below code.

  install.packages("lintr")

Options

To turn off the automatic replacement of underscores by <-, set in your ~/.spacemacs:

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '((ess :variables
                                                         ess-disable-underscore-assign t)))

Alternatively you may enable ess-smart-equals, which also disables replacement of underscores by <-, and additionally replace the equals sign with <- when appropriate:

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '((ess :variables
                                                         ess-enable-smart-equals t)))
