Hi everyone!

On Saturday the 27th, at 17:00 UTC, github user Chibisi has 
asked to give a presentation on his project, 
[Saucer](https://github.com/chibisi/saucer).


The purpose of the saucer project is to create bidirectional 
interop between R, the statistics programming language and D. 
The aim is that in time, it will have easily accessible 
capabilities similar to libraries like Rcpp in terms of its 
features and capability, but with the added advantage that the 
D programming language is used with R, and can bring it’s 
expressive power and other capabilities to build analytical 
software that can be made available in R as well as D being 
able to access R’s rich API. A live demonstration of the 
library in use will be included by way of an example.


Hope you all can join us! I'll post a reminder just before it 
happens.


Thanks to @realdoigt, we have a recording of this! And of course, 
thanks to Chibisi for the great library and presentation!
