Rust for R Developers
You want to build Rust powered R packages but don’t know where to start?
What is this?
This is an opinionated and streamlined introduction to Rust to get you building fast ⚡️, and vectorized R functions within a few hours.
Who is it for?
We get it. Learning Rust can be daunting and frankly, much of the “Intro to Rust” material out there isn’t immediately applicable to R or data science.
This introduction is designed for intermediate R developers.

- Iteration such as for / while loops,
purrr::map()style iterators, and theapply()family of functions - Control Flow
