I am embarrassed to acknowledge that I have just discovered your repo :disappointed: I have written my own version of the R IB client, and I even named it the same :smile: Had I known about your package I would most surely not had attempted mine.
I wrap the official cppclient with its obvious advantages like speed and almost out of the box 100% compatibility. The disadvantage, cannot release to CRAN and the user needs to download the official api client code.
I also go quite a bit further than by providing an interceptor style handling of messages which could be used for building complex data processing patterns and bots. The idea is to make the experience quite a bit more user-friendly by providing object constructors and data fetching functionality which would work out of the box.
Obviously, I would love to join efforts but, as you could guess, by now I am inclined to do it the cppclient-way :smile:
H!
