The RSPerl package (of which, as you noticed, this is a rip off) does include this functionality so maybe I'll have a look at porting that as well. My usual work flow is to do as much as I can in Ruby and then call out to R when I need a particular library or function, so my initial goal was very much to be able to call R from Ruby and I've not been so concerned with the reverse process. I'm away for the next few weeks, but I will put it on my to do list (or at least the have a look at list) for September. In the meantime you're very welcome to have a pop at it yourself if you want! ;) PS: Any and all bug reports are welcome. I will endeavour to respond when I get back.

And I'm interested in it for computer performance modeling. By: Ed Borasky Testing RSRuby [ reply ]   2006-07-31 05:55 I'm currently testing RSRuby. Is there a piece of it that allows calling Ruby from R? If not, is that in the future? Also, the R package needs a little text editing in the documentation ... 1,$s/Perl/Ruby/g :)
