In praise of CRAN, well-crafted automation, and well-curated software: the screenshot shows emails for #Rstats submission RcppArmadillo yesterday. Four hours between submission, and publication.

Nearly 1300 dependent packages tested aumagically. No issues, so automatic publication. So nice.

Every now and then someone is wrong on the interwebs. Every now and then we push back. A few years ago I set up github repo 'ldlasb' ('lies, damn lies, and selective benchmarks'). Today it was time for 'ldlasb2' which contains the note and four charts. #rstats

I second the recommendation by @econmaett.bsky.social: Rcpp just works, and RcppArmadillo is lovely for linear algebra. Over 3k packages at CRAN use Rcpp and give you examples, as does the Rcpp Gallery, blog posts, old SO questions, .... We help on the rcpp-devel list open to any and all.

🖤 bsvars.org design concept pt. 3 💜

⭐ We use RcppArmadillo for linear algebra because we found it very fast on matrix operations and RNGs, well-documented, easy to use in packages. We 🖤 it! Seriously!

🌐 bsvars.org

#bsvars.org #bsvars #bsvarSIGNs #Rcpp #RcppArmadillo #rstats
bsvars.org design concept: Our packages use ReppArmadillo for linear algebra frontier package for linear algebra linking R with C++ library Armadillo; implements fast random number generators; makes C++ code as expressive as R's (or MATLAB's). we love it!
