JuliaCall
An R package that embeds Julia for high-performance numerical computing, enabling seamless interoperability between R and Julia.
What is JuliaCall?
JuliaCall is an R package that embeds the Julia programming language within R, enabling seamless interoperability between the two environments. It allows R users to execute Julia code, call Julia functions, and leverage Julia's high-performance numerical computing capabilities directly from R scripts. The package solves the problem of integrating Julia's speed with R's extensive statistical ecosystem without requiring users to switch contexts.
R users and data scientists who need high-performance numerical computing for tasks like optimization, differential equations, or large-scale simulations, and R package developers building interfaces to Julia libraries.
Developers choose JuliaCall for its seamless integration, automatic type conversion, and ability to harness Julia's performance (100x+ speedups in some cases) while staying within the familiar R environment. It's specifically designed for interoperability rather than just foreign function interfaces.
