Abstract:
R is one of the most popular programming languages in science, and well
suited for all data and stats centered tasks. In Ecology R is
lingua franca. For reproducible science and re-usability of code in
Ecology, you should ideally share your work in R.
R is fast for most day-to-day statistics-centered scripting tasks, but
it is rather slow for general-purpose programming. Therefore, R
developers use C/C++ or Fortran libraries to speed up computation-heavy
parts of their packages. Writing and linking such libraries was
relatively cumbersome until Rcpp was available.
Rcpp integrates C++ code seamlessly into R. It is both, an R package and
a C++ library. It compiles C++ from within R and “automagically” links
the library to R’s API.
