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[…]
DIP1000: Memory Safety in a Modern System Programming Language Pt. 2 The previous 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. But D can refer to the sta[…]
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.

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 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[…]
