- FastR is around for several years. Language support is pretty much done. Its mostly about getting to run CRAN packages that use native extensions. - Graal.python is pretty new and its really early days. So even basic language things might break right now. But we are investing a lot of resources in Python support. You can check for compatibility of packages here (not yet for Python): http://graal-staging.us.oracle.com/docs/reference-manual/compatibility/ http://graal-staging.us.oracle.com/docs/reference-manual/com...

Thanks for that, link seems down unfortunately. I use data.table a lot but would happily switch if the dplyr family of packages work. Would love to use this in Rstudio for exploratory analysis which would also need ggplot to work. Quite often have to cancel long running tasks when exploring a data set, so even if its a bit slower for interactive tasks but much faster for longer running tasks would be huge. E.g. typical interactive finished in 1 second instead of 50ms, but large loops that would take an hour finish in 10 minutes.

  You will like to hear that there is some rstudio integration in the works. Here is the correct link: http://www.graalvm.org/docs/reference-manual/compatibility/ http://www.graalvm.org/docs/reference-manual/compatibility/ (Accidentally posted the internal link :D)

    Awesome, thanks for that. I'll definitely give it a shot once rstudio is supported.
