BEERCONF!

Happy new year! It's getting to be that time again, where we chat about our favorite language, and enjoy some beverages! If it seems like it's been a long time, that's because it has. Last month's Beerconf was early, but now that the holidays are over, we are back to a normal schedule. The next one will be January 27-28, and I hope to see you all there!

Hi everyone!

On Saturday the 27th, at 17:00 UTC, github user Chibisi has asked to give a presentation on his project, Saucer.

The purpose of the saucer project is to create bidirectional interop between R, the statistics programming language and D. The aim is that in time, it will have easily accessible capabilities similar to libraries like Rcpp in terms of its features and capability, but with the added advantage that the D programming language is used with R, and can bring it’s expressive power and other capabilities to build analytical software that can be made available in R as well as D being able to access R’s rich API. A live demonstration of the library in use will be included by way of an example.

Hope you all can join us! I'll post a reminder just before it happens.

Just a reminder that this is happening in 2 days!

Thanks to @realdoigt, we have a recording of this! And of course, thanks to Chibisi for the great library and presentation!
