similar to: Integrate R in perl6

I saw the latest parrot release notice on LWN this week and randomly wondered the Perl6 native call interface was like compared to the horrific mess that is Perl5 XS. The answer is that it is a thing of beauty ! Here is the libguestfs hello world example in Perl6 $ dd if=/dev/zero of=guest.img bs=1M count=100 $ mke2fs guest.img $ cat guestfs.p6 use NativeCall; say "Defining stubs";

I'm curious if any of the core R developers have considered the possibility of hosting R (v2?) on the parrot common runtime environment. Perl6 will generate byte-code for parrot, as will some future version of python. I can imagine both drawbacks and advantages. Some advantages would be fast byte-code execution and freely mixing perl, python and R modules. Anyone looked into this? Tim

This is just an idea for comment. Perl6, the upcoming version of Perl has separated out the runtime into a virtual machine called Parrot. There are already several small languages (one is C-like, one is Java-like and one is BASIC-like) that target Parrot and given the popularity of Perl its likely that others may attempt to target it too. If R could interface easily with Parrot then it might be

Hi I am told that filemaker follows an SQL standard. We have filemaker pro 8.0 Can I access the database using activerecords or Rails? All I see mentioned is postgres, mysql, etc I found http://rubyforge.org/projects/rfm/ it requires FileMaker Server Advanced 7.0, But the server advanced is 1400$ for education and I can''t justify the cost right now. My goal is to develop a small

This is my first post to this list so I suppose a quick intro is in order. I've been using SPLUS 2000 and R1.6.2 for just a couple of days, and love S already. I'm reading MASS and also John Fox's book - both have been very useful. My background in stat software was mainly SPSS (which I've never much liked - thanks heavens I've found S!), and Perl is my tool of choice for

Hello, I don't know if this question ought to go here, or rather on R-devel, so please bear with me. I'm interfacing to R via RPy (rpy.sf.net) and an embedded Python interpreter. This is really quite convenient. I use this approach to calculate the correlation coefficient of 1 independent dataset (vector) with 4 dependent vectors. It'd be nice if that could be done in 4 parallel

Hi, I have noticed that there is a change in the use of ellipses or . in R versions 2.6.1 and later. In versions 2.5.1 and earlier, the . were always at the end of the argument list, but in 2.6.1 they are placed after the main arguments and before method control arguments. This results in the user having to specify the exact (complete) names of the control arguments, i.e. partial matching is

Hello... I need some help with tags. as an example: # pseudo code class ssh { file { "/etc/ssh/ssh_config": # normal stuff tag("dangerous") } file { "/etc/ssh/sshd_config": # normal stuff tag("dangerous") } file { "/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts": # normal stuff tag("safe") } } on client: puppetd --tags
