Comparing R Bytecode Compilers Written in R, Java, and Rust

Original language description

This paper presents a comparative analysis of three implementations of the R bytecode compiler: the official R implementation, a Java-based compiler, and a Rust-based compiler. The R compiler, written in R itself, poses challenges in terms of performance and maintainability. We evaluate designs of the compilers, their trade-offs, and performance characteristics. The Rust version outperforms the Java version, which itself outperforms the R version.
