Feature Request: No Copy Array Passing Between Julia and R #168

Open ParadaCarleton opened 3 years ago

ParadaCarleton commented 3 years ago

It's possible to pass data between Python and R without copying it by using Arrow, and it also seems to be possible to pass data between Julia and Python doing the same thing. This suggests it should be possible to pass arrays between Julia and R in the same way, which would be an extremely useful feature for large datasets -- if nothing else, it should theoretically be possible to use PyCall and then pass along a Julia <-> Python <-> R pipeline with Python in the middle, but there's probably a less complicated way to do this.

This reminds me of the discussion in the later sections of this thread @Non-Contradiction: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/fast-4d-argmax/58566/25?u=jroon Do you think such a feature would be feasible ?

Hi @Non-Contradiction I was wondering if there was any update on this issue it would be a great addition ? Thanks
