R / Rcpp #52

Open zachmayer opened 8 years ago

zachmayer commented 8 years ago

Seeing as you're planning a future Julia wrapper, I thought I'd ask for an R one too, so I can try FALCONN instead of RcppAnnoy.

ludwigschmidt commented 8 years ago

An R wrapper would definitely be nice to have. It's not on our immediate todo list right now but we'll probably look into it in the future.

Is Rcpp the preferred way for exposing C++ libraries to R?

dselivanov commented 8 years ago

@ludwigschmidt it is much simpler to expose any C++ library to R with Rcpp than native R's C interface. So I can say it is preferred way.

zachmayer commented 8 years ago

Yeah, Rcpp is the preferred way to expose C++ libraries in R. You might also be able to get someone who already knows Rcpp to do a lot of the work for you =D
