@eddelbuettel looks like a fun rant. Book link is broken FYI

@jaimedash Oops. Fixed. As is what @geospacedman noticed a little earlier. Thank you both.

Thanks, now fixed MT @earino should it be return(fibR(n-1) + fibR(n-2)) instead

.@mpastell We also do that for R too for timelier updates. Yet we do not break the base package which is still some egg on Julia's face.

@eddelbuettel #rstats #rcpp what's the g() function in your fibCpp function? Also, check your blood pressure now!
Replying to @eddelbuettel
@eddelbuettel do you have any link about the "dreaded ifelse operator"? I'm like using it pretty often in my dplyr workflows on dataframes…

@eddelbuettel One of Julia's quirks: the first function call includes compilation time. For real time, call `@time fib(25)` twice & use 2nd
Replying to @eddelbuettel
@eddelbuettel I get 0.7 ms per fib(25) run on my machine once compiled, much closer to C. See: pastebin.com/xRzM4yAd
Replying to @eddelbuettel
@eddelbuettel That was a fairly mild rant. Nice job clarifying many points!
