R devel - Feb 2014 - FastR

Dear all,

at UseR! 2013, the FastR project was announced by Tomas Kalibera, Petr Maj, and
Jan Vitek. FastR is an implementation of the R programming language in Java
using AST interpretation and specialisation for improved performance. Since, the
implementation has been extended to support JIT compilation, leading to
performance improvements.

The goal of the project is to further the R community and its success by hoping
to make the R language even higher-level and faster to meet continually evolving
challenges. The implementation currently lacks many of R's features, such as
data frames, S3/S4, packages, graphics, ..., but it is growing.

At this time, FastR is a collaborative effort of Purdue University,
Johannes-Kepler-University Linz, and Oracle Labs. Contributions in all possible
forms - tests, code, bug fixes, design hints, criticism - are very welcome!

I would like to point the R developers to the FastR project page, now on
BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/allr. The project mailing list is at
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/fastr/info.

Best regards,

Michael Haupt

It will be really wonderful if R can run on JVM.

So you moved from github (https://github.com/allr/fastr) to BitBucket ?
