Shiny paved the way for R users to create interactive, production-ready applications without switching stacks. In this episode, Eric Nantz reflects on Shiny’s origins, its "lazy by design" reactivity model, and how the ecosystem matured. We dive into how Shiny for Python expands this power to new audiences, and how Shiny is becoming key to modern clinical trial workflows. Eric shares real-world examples, user reactions, and the future of interactive data science. In this episode, you will learn:
How Shiny became a game changer for people working with R
How the framework evolved from a simple prototyping tool to a critical asset in life sciences
How open source is surpassing proprietary software
The future of Shiny in drug development
