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.

what's the g() function in your fibCpp function? Also, check your blood pressure now!

do you have any link about the "dreaded ifelse operator"? I'm like using it pretty often in my dplyr workflows on dataframes…

I get 0.7 ms per fib(25) run on my machine once compiled, much closer to C. See:
