Hi, I am mainly using R and wanted to know if it was already possible (or when it is expected to be possible) to compile Julia code to shared libraries which can be loaded and used within R?
I found a rather short discussion about this here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9965747/linking-r-and-julia *The Julia development plan, as I described in this answer <http://stackoverflow.com/a/10711762/659248> is to allow compilation of Julia code to shared libraries, callable using the C ABI. Once this happens, it will be as easy to call Julia code from R as it is to call C/C++ code. There is, however, a fair amount of work required before this becomes possible (*Stefan Karpinski) but I couldn't comment there and therefore need to ask in this group. I am really looking forward to this feature! It would encourage me using julia a lot more. cheers, alex
