Simple #RStats Foreign Function interface using libffi, inspired by the Rffi package by Duncan T Lang. A fair amount of "conscious" memory leaks and experimention with S7 on my side. Despite the overhead compared to .Call, calling arbitrary C functions at runtime is nice.

R(r)ustaceans out there, please give us a #wasm runtime within #Rstats, I said khalas after 5 hours of vibecoding this 😂 (my bad, I should have gone for a pure C wasm runtime library, at least there I can read the header files). All of this for faster fibonacci 😂

#Rstats gurus
do we have tools to respond to this idea from john chambers ?
""" If not, can the non-functionality be
parametrized... ? R
does not have organized support for such validity
investigations, but developing tools for the purpose
would be a worthwhile project."""

@josiahparry.com why not build it in this framework github.com/luminal-ai/l... and expose it to R and add an oxidized backend to the R transpiling options in r-xla github.com/r-xla/anvil/...

@brodriguesco.bsky.social i guess rix/rixpress already have implicitly something like this, but let it make it more explicit: using rix for package external dependencies declaration along the lines of basilisk in Bioconductor github.com/bioconductor.... I would be very happy to get rid of pixi/pip

#mojo vs #C in the #RStats convolve classic benchamrk. Looks like mojo goes brrr

My template for any #RStats package that used LLM tools and hopefully somebody should trigger some lawsuit to enforce this interpretation in any project out there that uses LLM tools

#RStats #Golang IPC setup using nanonext and nanoarrow on the R side and arrow-go and mangos/v3 on the go side. Golang vendoring facility is very nice and the compiler is quite fast. Going for this pattern after an archived submission and a very informative mailing thread

#RStats Bugzilla reports are getting close. Tremendous work happening

Note that the RLang manuals says that one should not rely on a much around the behavior of ... cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/..., this might change though with the ongoing project of making the tidyverse compatible with the R C API by adding API entrypoints github.com/r-devel/r-de...

Planning to incorporate this into some plumber2 or Amborix api
At least it works for mtcars :D

This Macros magic strategy may be useful on top of usual #RStats C API Macros for user functions [ great to have exact matching between R and .Call arguments with even the default values]

truth be told, he stans for conda for a specific reason that mostly does not apply for Rstats users (because of CRAN and vendoring ) : system/native code dependencies packaging
In fact uv people had to re-invent conda for this

Taking inspiration from the ridiculous microbenchmark, made a LLM generate functions for generating actual nested loops functions after feeding it the #RStats language definition,Luke Cherney's codetools and some gratuitous #tailcall for the connaisseurs

#Rstats thank you Luke Tierney/R Core 😂 Doing as good as the snake in interpreted loops despite massive corporate investment on that other side and the fundamental issues with R's homoiconic nature
Note: CPython 3.14 might be faster, they are getting a jit thanks to Microsoft

I am very happy about this too :D
And it looks like the LLMs (at least GPT5) actually use Perl in the "agentic coding" steps !

Per some poster on Twitter, looks like their open weight "coding" models had huge Perl and rstats upsampling in their training set

Maybe this is an issue with my setup, but it looks like the setup interacts badly with well configured configure scripts like in the curl package that properly check dependencies. The package get installed but the anticonf script generates an error

the version that hangs
is this about compatibility of the r-universe builds with the webr interface ?
July 25, 2025 at 5:37 PM
note that for me i had to remove the cran repos for the r-universe binary to be installed for the extendr version
this did not happen with the savvy version

error below
Savvy version is installed from the "https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/emscripten/contrib/4.5"

I encountered today the bogus(i think) #Rstats C stack overflown mentioned here tweag.github.io/HaskellR/doc... and the WRE manual's "R is not reentrant" passages. Reminder that calling R from different threads is not safe in the general case. Going to explore the Bioc {SharedObject} package route

wait to see his Rpub regression and "simulations" codes :D
The dude blocked me on twitter ages ago because i pointed out his true id and also use to criticize the bullshit arguments
