I agree we should do this, but I would prefer to wait until targets
and tarchetypes
are part of rOpenSci and released to CRAN. (rOpenSci review just started: https://github.com/ropensci/software-review/issues/401.)
targets
compares itself to drake
in order to justify its existence, so there is detailed documentation at https://wlandau.github.io/targets/articles/need.html#drake and https://wlandau.github.io/targets-manual/index.html#what-about-drake. Briefly:
drake
is never going away.targets
was necessary in order to surpass the permanent limitations of drake
.drake
, you already almost know targets
.

Description
I just came across the
targets
package, and it looks great. However, it's not clear to me when I would need to stick todrake
, and when I should usetargets
. Can this be addressed in the README? At the least, I thinktargets
should be mentioned in the README (and probably the manual too) so users know that it is an option they should check out before committing todrake
.
