I have no idea. But I hope not... that sounds like a different tool than R, just as C++ is a different tool than C.

I would assume r-devel is where this sort of query should be posted as we mere users have nothing to say about this. However, I've seen discussions and talks about better languages for scientific (but data science?) programming -- Matlab, Julia, Scipy, etc. -- for at least a decade. But with a library of now over 10,000 packages on CRAN and yet more on Bioconductor and github -- that's a lot of inertia to overcome.

It has some good ideas, but R (my personal assesment) is not build for superspeed, but for superease of use.))

Hi Jeff, The suggested language looks like it is shifting to some stricter programming idioms such as defining object's data structure. this video was shoot in 2017 so I'm not sure if these changes have been put on the back burier.
