New RPy2 release 3.0.0 (and bug fix release 3.0.1 is next) just uploaded to @Debian (and will get to @Ubuntu) thanks to a helping hand from @yarikoptic
RPy2 by Laurent Gautier allows Python users to access the goodness of R without leaving their surroundings

Both points are valid:
- when teaching, I show 'bare-bones' approaches so Rcpp tutorials include bits about manual compiling and linking; and C language understanding is indeed useful
- yet often we prefer not to have to worry about low-level details hence the Rcpp popularity

Yup: use #!/usr/bin/env r, chmod to 0755 and you're good. No need to wrap w/ bash. Give the scripts unique-ish names and tab-completion wins.
Many examples (build, install, checl, Rmd->pdf, ...) at github.com/eddelbuettel/litt…

Glad you like it -- drat is mostly "just" careful access to already existing Base R functionality without adding dependencies. Or what we may call "standard fare" :)

"It's the religion of complexity... Complicated things are better than simple things. New things are better than old things. We all believe this, whether we like it or not. It’s how we were brought up."
Is this what's wrong with software development, as a craft?

Open letter to journal editors: dynamite plots must die. Dynamite plots, also known as bar and line graphs, hide important information. Editors should require authors to show readers the data and avoid these plots.

Still at github.com/eddelbuettel/dang -- commit going up in a moment.
