RSPerl compared to rpy2

My colleagues told me that rpy2 is a great tool for working with data that benefits from being between python and R. But I'm a supporter, so I wonder if RSPerl will be as wonderful as I was told that rpy2 will be.

The website was last updated in 2007 ...

For me, the main difference is that things from Omegahat are extremely smart and far-sighted, but not always reliable. It is rather an R&D lab.

Rpy2, on the other hand, has a dedicated and focused core developer at Laurent.

[Disclaimer: I am a Debian supporter for RPy2 (and a few related things) and have tried in vain to pack RSPerl, RSPython, ... and several other Duncan Omegahat pieces.]

Besides the great features in the interface between the X and R languages, ongoing support is of utmost importance.

RSPerl may be built at some point in time, but there is a slight chance that it no longer works. In your situation, Perl did not know the major changes in recent years, but R certainly did.

[Disclaimer: I am very involved in rpy2, and over ~ 3 years of existence, the code base has required several changes due to changes in R and Python - in fact, I have not completely left the forest with Python 3]
