As other posters wrote then environments are the solution.
data.frames, vectors and lists are much slower and less useful to use as
key-value pairs.
Here are some code I somethings uses:
cache <- NULL
cache_set <- function(key, value) {
assign(key, value, envir = cache)
}
cache_reset <- function() {
cache <<- new.env(TRUE, emptyenv())
}
cache_get <- function(key) {
get(key, envir = cache, inherits = FALSE)
}
cache_has_key <- function(key) {
exists(key, envir = cache, inherits = FALSE)
}
cache_reset()
