[Rd] vector finalizers

Dear R Devel, In a thread this morning Luke Tierney mentioned that R's way of garbage collecting is going to change soon in 3.4.0. I couldn't find this info on Google but I wanted to share what I had been discussing in another forum, in case now is not too late to raise considerations which could

The R Journal home page doesn't make any promises about how frequently the journal will be published. Historically, though, there have been issues in June and December of each year. The June issue has always appeared by this time (6 August) in previous years. Has there been a change in the p

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 V

But you can easily fall back to R from within Julia; see http://juliastats.github.io/RCall.jl/latest/ On Aug 5, 2016 1:27 PM, "Hadley Wickham" wrote: > No. > > Hadley > > On Fri, Aug 5, 2016 at 11:12 AM, Kenny Bell wrote: > > Is it conceivable that Julia could be ported to use R syntax in a way

[Rd] Extra copies of objects in environments when using $ operator?

My understanding is that R will not make copies of lists if there is only one reference to the object. However, I've encountered a case where R does make copies, even though (I think) there should be only one reference to the object. I hope that someone could shed some light on why this is happenin

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

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 being actively worked

When it was being actively worked on, it had the advantage of existing. Hadley On Fri, Aug 5, 2016 at 10:48 AM, Kenny Bell wrote: > Why is the described system preferable to Julia? > > On Fri, Aug 5, 2016, 4:50 AM peter dalgaard wrote: > >> >> On 05 Aug 2016, at 06:41 , Andrew Judson wrote: >>

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]] _
