Revewier 1

  • Added introductory paragraph explaining the benefits of tidy evaluation with concrete examples.
  • Clarified that tidy evaluation was inspired by base R fuctions.
  • I did not add an explanation of .data and .env pronouns, since these are now rarely needed and while technically precise, I don’t believe they aid the high-level discussion here.
  • Fixed the identified spelling and grammar errors, and added a citation for R itself.
  • Shrunk the tidymodels section and folded it into Posit section.
