R Project Updates
Updates from R Core.

The JIT byte code compiler is now enabled by default at level 3. This means functions will be compiled on first sue and top level loops will be compiled and then run. Thanks to Tomas Kalibera for extensive work to make this possible. For now, the compiler will not compile code containing explicit calls to
browser()
. This is to support single stepping from thebrowser()
call. The JIT can be disabled usingcompiler::enableJIT()

Quote of the Week
