As I recall, the major blocker is that R links against a number of other things (notably BLAS, pcre, etc) so while technically possible (?) I suppose, the universe of things you'd have to compile over and then get working is much larger than just the R internals.
I think most people who consider this (including me years ago, as well as the poster of Gabor's message to rdevel) hit that point and then go try to find a less herculean task to pursue. ~G On Wed, Feb 20, 2019 at 12:57 AM Gábor Csárdi <csardi.ga...@gmail.com> wrote: > This was some time ago: > https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2013-May/066724.html > > So probably not hopeless, but I would think it is a lot of work. > > Gabor > > On Wed, Feb 20, 2019 at 8:17 AM Todd Wilder <wild...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Has anyone attempted to compile R (probably without any OS bindings) to > > WebAssembly / Emscripten?
