.@eddelbuettel Also: 1st "ripped-off" post comment has function similar to Julia benchmark goo.gl/wFAS1D and your fibR()
Replying to @eddelbuettel
@eddelbuettel They should instead focus on calling Julia from R. They don't seem to understand that rewriting working code is bad.

@eddelbuettel, at least they're not using matrix multip as a metric - typ. just some native code. fibci does actually test the interpreter.
