I was always concerned about making things easier. No, not this way. A technology must be easy to start with, but also be easy in accessing its advanced or fine-tunable features. Let’s have an example of the former.
PSA: Thread-local state is no longer recommended; Common misconceptions about threadid() and nthreads()
I have managed to finish one more article in the Advanced Raku For Beginners series, this time about type and object composition in Raku.
Once, long ago, coincidentally a few people were asking the same question: how do I get a method object of a class?

Release Note Highlights & Interview with phwo, author of Handmade Games
When testing development versions of Rtools for Windows, I’ve ran into strange failures of several CRAN packages where R could not find, read from or write to some files. The files should have been in temporary directories which get automatica[…]
The first entry in this series shows how to use the new DIP1000 rules to have slices and pointers refer to the stack, all while being memory safe. The second entry in this series teaches about the ref storage class and how DIP1000 works with agg[…]
Release Note Highlights & Interview with Cloin, author of Spall
From version 4.2.0 released in April 2022, R on Windows uses UTF-8 as the native encoding via UCRT as the new C Windows runtime. The transition for R and its packages has been a non-trivial effort which took several years. This post gives a summ[…]
Release Note Highlights & Interview with Skytrias, author of Todool
This post is a story of a bug in Rterm, the console R front-end on Windows, which has been bugging me for several years, but only two weeks ago it showed up unwarily so that I could trace it down and fix.
The terminal sometimes crashed during co[…]
One of the strengths of R is its ability to help in producing documents. Sweave and knitr can work with .Rnw files, evaluating and automatically inserting the results of R code to produce a LaTeX document in a .tex file. We call this “preproce[…]
In R, a string can be declared to be in bytes encoding. According to ?Encoding, it must be a non-ASCII string which should be manipulated as bytes and never converted to a character encoding (e.g. Latin 1, UTF-8). This text summarizes recen[…]

Highlights of the Julia 1.8 release.
If you use R you may have wondered if there are ways you can contribute to making R better. An important feature of R that encourages its use around the world is the support for localization. This enables R’s messages, warnings and errors, as […]
Regular expression operations in R, such as grep or gsub, sometimes have significant performance overheads due to encoding conversions.
Some R code tries to mitigate this by ignoring input encodings and pretending it is fine to work on individua[…]
The R blog moves to https://blog.r-project.org, a more prominent location, after 37 blog posts (some of them perhaps surprisingly detailed) and a bit over 4 years.
This blog site has been started under https://developer.r-project.org in March 20[…]
Using \x in string literals is almost always a bad idea, but using it in regular expressions is particularly dangerous.
Consider this “don’t do” example in R 4.2.1 or earlier:
text <- "Hello\u00a0R" gsub("\xa0", "", text) a0 is the code[…]
Memory safety needs no checks D is both a garbage-collected programming language and an efficient raw memory access language. Modern high-level languages like D are memory safe, preventing users from accidently reading or writing to unused memor[…]
R 4.2.1 is scheduled to be released next week with a number of Windows-specific fixes. All Windows R users currently using R 4.2.0 should upgrade to R 4.2.1. This text has more details on some of the fixes.
R 4.2.0 on Windows came with a signifi[…]
Support for pattern fills was added to the R graphics engine in R version 4.1.0, with an R interface via the ‘grid’ package.
library(grid) For example, the following code defines a linear gradient that varies horizontally from red to white a[…]
May was a busy month in D land. Early on, a major milestone release of GDC, the GCC-based D compiler, hit the virtual shelves. It was followed in middle of the month by the release of D 2.100.0 along with a DMD release, the reference D compiler,[…]

The story of debugging a mysterious Julia segfault.
Within private companies, it can be difficult to smoothly transition internal code into high quality open-source contributions. At JuliaCon 2020, industry Julia users came together to discuss how to maximize their impact in the Julia ecosystem.
GSoC & JSoC 2020 Wrap-Up.
Julia runs fast, but suffers from latency due to compilation. This post analyzes one source of excess compilation, tools for detecting and eliminating its causes, and the impact this effort has had on latency.
This year, 2,565 Julia users and developers participated in the second annual Julia User and Developer Survey.
Julia version 1.5 has been released, featuring many performance improvements and new capabilities.
R-devel-win.exe is an experimental installer of R, set up to download experimental binary builds of CRAN packages. It sets UTF-8 as the current default encoding on Windows (Windows 10 November 2019 release or newer). 92% of CRAN packages are sup[…]

Julia 1.5 is gaining a cool new bug reporting capability, leveraging mozilla's rr project to automatically create fully-reproducible bug reports
R internally allows strings to be represented in the current native encoding, in UTF-8 and in Latin 1. When interacting with the operating system or external libraries, all these representations have to be converted to native encoding. On Linux […]
The symbol font When drawing text in R graphics, we can specify the font “family” to use, e.g., a generic family like "sans" or a specific family like "Helvetica", and we can specify the font “face” to use, e.g., plain, bold, or italic. […]
One of the main downsides to the ‘grid’ graphics package is that it is slow. And that makes some important packages that depend on ‘grid’, like ‘ggplot2’, slow. For example, the scatterplots shown below are roughly equivalent, but on[…]
