TITLE
ExtendR: Seamless integration of R & Rust
ABSTRACT
Within the R ecosystem, it is very popular to write R-packages that are wrappers around native code libraries. ExtendR is a suite of software packages that aims to ease the process of adapting Rust code to R, by providing type marshalling, auto-generated C-ABI bindings that may be invoked from R, and similar. As a tool, it is meant to be used by R-package authors, who wish to experiment with Rust code through R, write and publish rust-powered packages. See https://extendr.github.io/ for more information.
