Re: [Rd] What happened to Ross Ihaka's proposal for a Common Lisp based R successor?

My latest project in R + Rcpp + RcppParallel + RcppEigen ran so fast when I tested it, I thought it was a short-circuit. Not as clean as pure Julia but if you like C++ its a pretty sweet environment. (Incidentally, several of the ideas in Julia came from a discussion about rewriting R I had with

Is it conceivable that Julia could be ported to use R syntax in a way that would allow the vastly larger numbers of R programmers to seamlessly switch? Or equivalently, could an iteration of R itself do this? On Fri, Aug 5, 2016, 9:00 AM Hadley Wickham wrote: > When it was

I read this paper and haven't been able to find out what happened - I have seen some sporadic mention in message groups but nothing definitive. Does anyone know? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
