I've been developing with R:base 9.0/and 9.1 (32) for awhile and with
the release of 9.5 considering going to the 64-bit data pointer version
with my step-up purchase. The cost difference is not insignificant
since it would involve R:base, Compiler, and others. I have never (and
probably will never) run into data limitations, though I'm aware of many
of the increased limits, name lengths, and advantages from reading the
comparison.
Anybody have an opinion one way or the other about going 64 instead of
32? Major benefits you've found? Any negatives? Any trouble
converting? It sounds straightforward.
Thanks
