Call Rust Code from R using the 'extendr' Crate

v0.4.2 · Aug 26, 2025 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Provides functions to compile and load Rust code from R, similar to how 'Rcpp' or 'cpp11' allow easy interfacing with C++ code. Also provides helper functions to create R packages that use Rust code. Under the hood, the Rust crate 'extendr' is used to do all the heavy lifting.
