RCall.jl gets a REPL mode

[Randy Lai]

RCall.jl has been updated to support REPL model. Check how easy to use ggplot2.

The new feature is only available on the master branch.

Very nice!

Holy moly that looks amazing.

Is this not supported in Windows? I try to do the '$' and I don't get the R prompt.

Never mind, I just needed to checkout master. Stupid amazing. This is serious wizardry. Thank you so much.

[David Anthoff]

Yes, congrats and thanks to Randy, I think this is my favorite new feature in a very long time. It just really believe this is a game changer for many people that are coming from R, it makes for an incredibly smooth workflow in a typical data analysis session.

 

Cheers,

David

Nice!

I second David's comment - this removes a major barrier for R programmers starting out with Julia.

[Ista Zahn]

This is really great, and prompted me to finally dive into Julia. It seems that using `$` to switch to an R prompt only works in a full terminal emulator. I tried Atom/Juno, IJulia, and Emacs/ESS, none of them worked. Is there another way to switch between the Julia and R REPLs?

Thanks,

Ista

I don’t think so… I don’t think REPL modes are made available anywhere other than the normal julia prompt.

[Randy Lai]

In other platforms, you could always use the R"" macro. For example,

R"""

# some r code

""";

That's awesome! :D

In IJulia I find the R"...R code here $( Julia variable )..." syntax very handy.

Best & thanks for doing this!

​What Diego said. I feel like this gives me training wheels while I learn Juila. I'm writing my first real julia code now!

Just saw this today, super cool! Very handy!
