Is c++ still the best performance companion language for R?
Calling rust from R goes through the C abi, meaning you’ll probably still use a C wrapper like in this project, which makes building the package somewhat complicated. If you want to work with R SEXPs that’s also pretty complicated and Rcpp helps a lot with that. Rcpp will also help you convert R types back and forth.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing extendr and gifski you can also consider the following projects:
