Feature Request: Absolute R compatible #1

Closed wangqinhu closed 9 years ago

wangqinhu commented 10 years ago

Hi Yuki,

Thanks for taking Rstats to us. The current syntax seems good, however, it would be nice if Rstats supply an alternative approach that absolutely R compatible, that is, we can paste, include or write R code embeded in perl, just like heredoc. I really want to include my R script in my perl code with a hereR function that without perl contamination, but also can run in an environment without R.

Regards,

Qinhu

Hi.

This is much difficult than you expect. This mean all R syntax is replaced Perl syntax.

  1. R lexer(or parser) written by Perl is needed.
  2. after this, perl code is generated.

At first, R lexer is needed.

Yes I agree.

But I think this feature is critical to me at least. And if it can embed variables from perl that would be perfect.

However, I know this is difficult and may need a lot of time, so would please implement this when the core of Rstats is finished, if you have time and if you wish.

Thanks.
