A couple of thoughts:
In light of the recent discussion on "S3/S4 classes performance comparson", I'm leaning toward implementing the interface with S3 style classes. I appreciate anyones advice on this.
I JUST found (after roughly 6 months of studying R) Luke Tierney's note on "Finalization and Weak References in R". From the developers page, this note is listed as a "preliminary mechanism", but I scoured CRAN and noticed packages like RODBC and XML are using it. Has this mechanism changed from "preliminary" to "production" yet? For storing pointers in R variables, I've been using integer vectors which is what RMySQL does but doesn't seem natural.
For those interested in my Apache R implementation, please download here:
