User here: incorporating Intel's MKL, as MRO does, would be a very welcome addition. I was an MRO user before and it improved my experience with medium data immensely. They did, however, leave behind bugs here and there, especially related to development with Rcpp, so I switched back to vanilla R

[Rd] Debate: Shall some of Microsoft R Open Code be ported to mainstream R?

2017-10-29 Thread Juan Telleria
Dear R Developers, First of all, I would like to thank you Jeroen Ooms for taking the binary Window Builds from Duncan. I firmly believe that the R Community will benefit a lot from his work. However, the debate I would like to open is about if some of Microsoft R Open Code shall be ported from R

Renjin is not R.   Renjin is an R language interpreter written in Java. It has become exceedingly obvious that you are making user errors.  That's not a bug in the language. If you want to use Renjin, there are mailing lists devoted to Renjin, and also Stack Overflow and Renjin list questions th

Please move this to r-help. It is clear that this is not a problem with R itself, but with your ability to search the internet and read the documentation and the code before posting. On Sun, 2017-10-29 at 11:34 -0400, Morkus via R-devel wrote: > Hi All, > > OK, in the "back to the drawing board"

[Rd] Renjin?

Hi All, OK, in the "back to the drawing board" department, I found what looks like a much better solution to using R in Java. Renjin. Looking at the docs and then trying a quick example, didn't quite work. Of course I'm missing something. Although I'm telling the engine to require ("biotools")

The SJava package from 18 years ago did (does) have bidirectional calls from R to Java and Java to R. So you are not pushing the interface somewhere it doesn't want to go. But you are going about it with strings and R syntax which is a much less powerful approach than working with actual objects

Hey Duncan, Since Java is the #1 language and R is extremely popular, I think the most telling thing is that nobody on the "R-devel" forum (where people do "programming with R") is doing R and Java like I'm doing: calling R from Java and passing data structures. So it appears I'm clearly pushi
