### Positron
90+
91+
[Positron](https://positron.posit.co/) is an IDE for data science based on
92+
Code OSS, which has deep integration with R.
93+
Positron does not have an extension like Visual Studio Code's Dev Containers extension,
94+
so it cannot control Dev Containers from Positron, and it requires to use
95+
[Remote SSH](https://positron.posit.co/remote-ssh.html) to connect to the container.
96+
97+
The easiest way to connect to a container with Positron is to create a Dev Container
98+
with [DevPod](https://devpod.sh/), which has Positron support and automatically
99+
creates the container and connects to it from Positron.
