(Needs code clean-up, some optimizations, and probably knobs to control it separately from self tail calls. Will likely be released in 302.)

SharlatanTXR 300 is out.
The first release of TXR was put out in August 2009. This is literally the 300th release.
It's a big one; over 150 commits.

Andrew Tropin@baleine There is another work happening on restartable conditions, however, 1. it restarts the whole function, 2. requires wrapping its body into continuation. 3. doesn't give access to lexical scope.
shikokuchuoI'm proud to be presenting the first release of mirai - minimalist async framework for #RStats - as an 'r-lib' package!
I wrote a blog post about today's latest release: Advancing Async Computing in R.

There's some material in there for those as yet unfamiliar with the project.
I'm really excited to be working on this at Posit, and look forward to sharing the latest with you over the coming months.
