Architect (software)
Architect is an open-source integrated development environment, based on Eclipse. It serves as a multi-purpose workbench for data scientists, by providing support for various programming languages and technologies.
Integrated development environments are software applications that support computer programmers and data scientists in their work. In a single program interface, it provides one or more source code editors, syntax highlighting and functionality for building or executing the code. Within the broad family of IDEs, Architect primarily aims at applications in data science. Originally, it primarily focussed on the (statistical) programming language R. Over time, it has developed towards a more universal platform for modern data science.
Data science workbench
Through the StatET plugin, Architect provides full support for the R programming language. It supports the use of multiple R consoles in which R code can be executed. It also provides syntax highlighting and an integrated debugger. In addition, it is possible to set up a remote R session on a server using Architect Server.Architect also provides out of the box support for Git, LaTeX, Sweave / knitr, C, C++, Java and the Mylyn task management system.
