yes, Rinside is an interesting package, and if it had been around earlier, we would probably have used it in RKWard at some point of time. However, actually, the main sources of complexity in the R backend are communication with the frontend, and providing a decent console emulation (which is much easier said than done; see comments in rkrbackend.cpp). Neither is addressed by Rinside. We do have a use for some of the other bits in Rinside, however these are not too complex in the first place, and replacing them with Rinside does not look like it would be worth the trouble (if possible at all). Similar things can be said about Rcpp. Much of what this (nice!) package does is mostly orthogonal to what needs to be done in the RKWard backend (*). Once again, if the package had been around earlier, RKWard would probably make use of (parts of) it. However, switching to it now, would be a lot of work for little gain. Regards Thomas (*) The primary focus of Rcpp is on working on R data directly in C++. However, in RKWard, the frontend runs in a different process (and asynchronously), which renders most of this moot. Also, one design aspect of RKWard is "all relevant actions should be implemented as R code." Thus we have comparatively little use for direct manipulation of data in C++ in the first place.
