Or are there other drawbacks? It's a somewhat long story. It's been about two years since I started to maintain and extend the Rcpp package which its previous maintainer had left dead and rotting in the digital archives for two years already at that point. Correction here. That package that was left "dead and rotting" on CRAN was updated by its author (that would be me) in November of 2009 to include object-mapping features that were later reimplemented in what is now known as the Rcpp package.The syntax used for these features in Rcpp is Rcpp::as and Rcpp:wrap.
wrap and as for which I took the lead have nothing to do with any code you wrote, whatever you want to believe, whatever you want people that read you to believe. I personally don't think I'd ever want to import ideas from your code. I'm creative enough as it is.
Shortly after I released this work the following comment was added to the README file for Rcpp (version 0.8.3): "As of November 2009, Dominick has re-commenced maintenance of RcppTemplate with new releases on CRAN. This may provide a good opportunity to import some new ideas into Rcpp as well, time permitting."
again with this ! this was "may" not "will" and it just never happened ! this sentence is no longer in the README, simply because we just never import ideas from your RcppTemplate, just as much as we are not imoprting ideas from your cxxPack or whetever name you'll give to the next versions. It just happened that we can come up with better ideas on our own.
Thus the linkage to previous work is not quite what the "dead and rotting" comment above would have you believe.
