Those all sound like good names. From the article:
> To avoid this problem and codify our mission into our company charter, we re-incorporated as a Public Benefit Corporation in 2019.
> Our charter defines our mission as the creation of free and open source software for data science, scientific research, and technical communication. This mission intentionally goes beyond “R for Data Science” — we hope to take the approach that’s succeeded with R and apply it more broadly. We want to build a company that is around in 100 years time that continues to have a positive impact on science and technical communication. We’ve only just started along this road: we’re experimenting with tools for Python and our new Quarto project aims to impact scientific communication far beyond data science.
> [...] What does the new name mean for our commercial software? In many ways, nothing: our commercial products have supported Python for over 2 years. But we will rename them to Posit Connect, Posit Workbench, and Posit Package Manager so it’s easier for folks to understand that we support more than just R. What about our open source software? Similarly, not much is changing: our open source software is and will continue to be predominantly for R. That said, over the past few years we’ve already been investing in other languages like reticulate (calling Python from R), Python features for the IDE, and support for Python and Julia within Quarto. You can expect to see more multilanguage experiments in the future.
Apache Arrow may be the best solution for data interchange in "polyglot notebooks" with multiple programming languages where SIMDJSON-LD isn't fast enough to share references to structs (with data type URIs and quantity and unit URIs) with IPC and ref counting. https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/2815
