Very nicely put. We really don't need to diss or put down other languages all of which are viable in their own right -- we can simply offer the sweet spot we have here between and R and C++ (and we also do not deny that we add some nano to microseconds here or there for wrapping and this and that). It is a useful approach combinining both the ease of writing concise and readable code with very decent performance -- and still giving access to the vast collection of R analystics and packages. So a "Win-win-win". But then I am biased and don't need to sold on it. ;-) Dirk -- Dirk Eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org | http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com _______________________________________________ Rcpp-devel mailing list Rcpp-devel@lists.r-forge.r-project.org https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel
