A few weeks ago I released (so far only on r-universe) the 0.1.0 version of my array computing framework for R (jit compiles, supports autodiff and runs on CPU and GPU): Check it out here: https://github.com/r-xla/anvil #rstats

@hrbrmstr @eitsupi Cool cool. Sent you both collab invites. No pressure and can always re-invite later if that's what you'd prefer. But it's there if you have time/interest.

@eitsupi @hrbrmstr Ha, nice. Do you want to add the Go binary/component to the upstream repo then? Again, happy to add you as a contributor.

unigd has been removed from CRAN, but jgd courtesy of @gmcd might be worth checking (I understand it’s a super early alpha): https://github.com/grantmcdermott/jgd

@eitsupi @hrbrmstr Happy to add you to the repo too. I think the main pieces are all there; it's "just" Windows support needed before we can submit. But helps to have multiple hands available for FRs etc.

P.S. I hope you noticed `arf` being used in the screenshot.

@hrbrmstr nice! Happy to give you admin access, if you think it makes sense to bundle this as part of the repo. Lmk.

Experimental #rstats package for nice graphics display and UX in VS Code (and other potential front-ends)

Very lightweight and seems to work as expected on my system, but please kick the tyres.

@eitsupi I've been testing this out for the last day or two, including integration with VS Code. Very smooth and performant so far.

Nice work!
