Rust and R Integration

WARNING

R and Rust are rapidly developing in these two years. R introduced ALTREP and Rust introduced 2018 Edition.

But this repo is not updating regularly, so it may not work with the latest version of R and Rust.

Testing R version is 3.3.0, Rust version is 1.13.

Rust and R Integration

rustr is a Rust library that provides a Rust API to work with R.

Write pure Rust code with rustr, and then use rustinr R package to generate Rust interfaces to R.

More info: https://rustr.github.io

This project is now under construction. Issues and contributions are welcome!
