lazyeval vs r2dii.analysis
A side-by-side editorial comparison of lazyeval and r2dii.analysis — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
lazyeval vs r2dii.analysis: at a glance
What is lazyeval?
A package retired in 2017 just got rewritten against R's public C API.
lazyeval was the tidyverse's pre-rlang non-standard evaluation layer, formally set aside in 2017 when tidy evaluation replaced it. After eight and a half years without a release, 0.2.3 arrives as a compliance rewrite: the implementation now uses R's public C API, and the release note states it may differ from the historical one in subtle ways. Nothing about the package's role has changed.
What is r2dii.analysis?
The climate-alignment maths behind PACTA, now stable and maintained rather than reshaped
r2dii.analysis computes the target-setting side of PACTA: market-share and sectoral decarbonisation targets that measure a loan book or portfolio against climate scenarios. It sits downstream of the matched company data the sibling packages produce. The 0.5.0 release declared it lifecycle-stable and handed maintenance to a new lead, and releases since have been narrow corrections rather than new methods.

A package retired in 2017 just got rewritten against R's public C API.
◆ Current state
lazyeval was the tidyverse's pre-rlang non-standard evaluation layer, formally set aside in 2017 when tidy evaluation replaced it. After eight and a half years without a release, 0.2.3 arrives as a compliance rewrite: the implementation now uses R's public C API, and the release note states it may differ from the historical one in subtle ways. Nothing about the package's role has changed.
◆ Where it's heading
This is a dormancy revival driven entirely from outside, R core tightening what counts as the public C API forces packages using older internals to be rewritten or be archived. lazyeval is still a dependency deep in older package trees, so keeping it installable matters more than developing it. The caveat about subtle behavioural differences is the notable part: a package nobody is developing has changed behaviour in ways its release note declines to enumerate.
◆ Prediction
Expect no further development, only additional compliance releases if R core tightens the C API again.

The climate-alignment maths behind PACTA, now stable and maintained rather than reshaped
◆ Current state
r2dii.analysis computes the target-setting side of PACTA: market-share and sectoral decarbonisation targets that measure a loan book or portfolio against climate scenarios. It sits downstream of the matched company data the sibling packages produce. The 0.5.0 release declared it lifecycle-stable and handed maintenance to a new lead, and releases since have been narrow corrections rather than new methods.
◆ Where it's heading
The history is a package converging. Early releases churn the output contract of target_market_share() and target_sda() — which sectors appear, which years, how missing production is treated — and each change alters the numbers users get. The ald-to-abcd rename runs across several releases before completing, and by 0.5.0 the churn has stopped, with three older summarise functions soft-deprecated and the package marked stable. What remains is edge-case correctness in target coverage.
◆ Prediction
With the package marked stable and the terminology migration finished, the soft-deprecated summarise functions are the obvious next thing to remove outright.
