Nice! I have also used DuckDB in combination with dplyr in R, so I might add something about using data bases in R to the R language guide.

Hi @maltelueken that would be amazing! This also addresses the last point in the DuckDB part about combining with other tools. We were also lacking R experience, so couldn't comment on R libraries.
