Tidier.jl originally began as a package intended for working with DataFrames based on the R dplyr and tidyr packages as part of the R tidyverse ecosystem. That portion of Tidier.jl has since been split off into its own package (TiderData.jl), with Tidier.jl focused much more broadly on implementing the entir…
