I'll believe it when I see the performance.

  He were are, mostly one developper in only a few years has managed to create ~the fastest R runtime thanks to the graalVM infrastructure https://github.com/oracle/fastr https://github.com/oracle/fastr + it get polyglotism for free. See also graalphp: https://github.com/abertschi/graalphp/blob/master/results.md https://github.com/abertschi/graalphp/blob/master/results.md Oracle has managed to create a language framework that enable unprecedented performance and polyglotism but there are no human resources allocated to actually tuning the implementations. Without such framework imagining one developer to implement a language and expect it to outperform the reference vm made by an army of people through decades wouldn't be a realistic expectation but now anythings possible. Though it would be nice if others companies than Oracle understood the extent of this technological leap. Actually there is only one: shopify which invest in truffleruby https://pragtob.wordpress.com/2020/08/24/the-great-rubykon-benchmark-2020-cruby-vs-jruby-vs-truffleruby/ https://pragtob.wordpress.com/2020/08/24/the-great-rubykon-b...

    Last I checked (years ago), FastR was a one-developer research project that was way behind GNU R in terms of feature availability. Has that changed?
