{lawn} has been abandoned and archived on CRAN

As of 2020-01-08, the {lawn} package used to open chapter 1 has been archived on CRAN and archived + marked abandoned on GitHub. It may make sense to use a different package as a motivating example in this section.

           Nevertheless, a fair reason to use JavaScript might be that the thing one wants to achieve in R has already been realised in JavaScript. Why reinvent the wheel when the solution already exists and that it can be made accessible from R? The R package [lawn](https://github.com/ropensci/lawn) [@R-lawn] by Ropensci integrates [turf.js](http://turfjs.org/), a brilliant library for geo-spatial analysis. JavaScript is by no means required to make those computations, they could be rewritten solely in R, but that would be vastly more laborious than wrapping the JavaScript API in R as done by the package lawn.

Oh goodness no!

Thank you for flagging this, thankfully the book is not printed yet. I'll make that change.

I'm glad I commented then! :)

Thanks again, I did change that in the final version of the book.
