Hi Matthias, Thank you very much for your response!
Putting the entire compiler toolchain of Rust into an R package is likely just too much (it would need to compile the entire LLVM compiler which would take hours just to build alone). However, it is a very interesting idea to consider with dependencies. (Having a separate optional package that contains the source code of all Rust-dependencies necessary for the package) So thank you for sharing! I was also made aware of this similar thread: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-package-devel/2022q3/008291.html Best, Florian On Fri, Nov 11, 2022 at 8:21 PM matthias-gondan <matthias-gon...@gmx.de> wrote: > Hi Florian, I am doing something similar with Swi-Prolog.
