    So in other Julia geometry-related projects that may be true, but for this particular corner of the ecosystem the main author (Júlio Hoffimann) has actually implemented much of the underlyin code from scratch (to the best of my understanding) in pure Julia in a whole set of packages, including

    Importing meshes in Julia is a little funky right now. When using MeshIO you get a mesh type from GeometryBasics.jl, but the best package for doing mesh things is Meshes.jl, so I advise to use this little package MeshBridge.jl to convert to a Meshes type. Then you can just do

    Is this what you mean by nlopt? https://github.com/stevengj/nlopt

    If so, it looks like you're interfacing from R to high-performing code written in C. Isn't that exactly what OP was describing?

    Extraction from https://github.com/libprima/prima

    “There do exist "translations" of Powell's Fortran 77 code into other languages. For example, NLopt contains a C version of COBYLA, NEWUOA, and BOBYQA, but the C code in NLopt is translated from the Fortran 77 code straightforwardly, if not automatically by f2c, and hence inherits the style, structure, and probably bugs of the original Fortran 77 implementation.”

prima - PRIMA is a package for solving general nonlinear optimization problems without using derivatives. It provides the reference implementation for Powell's derivative-free optimization methods, i.e., COBYLA, UOBYQA, NEWUOA, BOBYQA, and LINCOA. PRIMA means Reference Implementation for Powell's methods with Modernization and Amelioration, P for Powell.
