Polyglot | Localize straight from the Storyboard/XIB | Computer Vision library

You would have to add dependency on the org.graavml.polyglot module in your application or expose it like what is done with the module /sun/scripting/main/

Well, '<,'>s/,/,\r/g actually results in:

I opened this question as an issue in the renv github repo, and maintainers kindly provided a workaround. The contents of the notebooks/.Rprofile should be as follows:

No. It was never supposed to have been supported, I'm surprised it worked.

does the R code and the Java code run on the same Java thread. Also, is it the same "memory/heap" space?

Yes and yes. You can even use GraalVM VisualVM to inspect the heap: it provides standard Java view where you can see instances of FastR internal representations like RIntVector mingled with the rest of the other Java objects, or R view where you can see integer vectors, lists, environments, ...

does the call rBindings.getMember("c").execute(values) cause the values object (an array of ints) to be copied?

In general yes: most objects are passed to R as-is. Inside R you have two choices:

• Explicitly convert them to some concrete type, i.e., as.integer(arg), which does not make a copy, but tells R explicitly how you want that value to be treated as "native" R type including R's value semantics.
• Leave it up to the default rules, which will be applied once your objects is passed to some R builtin, e.g., int[] is treated as integer vector (but note that treating it as a list would be also reasonable in some cases). Again no copies here. And the object itself keeps its reference semantics.

However, sometimes FastR needs to make a copy:

• some builtin functions cannot handle foreign objects yet
• R language often implicitly copies vectors, because of its value semantics, arguments coercion, etc.
• when a vector is passed to native R extension, we need to move its data to off heap memory

I would say that if you happen to have a very large vector, say GBs of data, you need to be very careful about it even in regular R. Note: FastR vectors are by default backed by Java arrays, so their size limitations apply to FastR vectors too.

Finally, does calling a polyglot function (in this case customMean implemented in R) have the same overhead as calling a native Java function?

Mostly yes, except that the function cannot be pulled and inlined into the surrounding Java code(+). The call itself is as fast as regular Java call. For the example you give: it cannot be optimized as you suggest, because the R function cannot be inlined(+). However, I would be very skeptical that any compiler can optimize this as you suggest even if both functions where pure Java code. That being said, yes: some things that compiler can optimize, like eliminating some useless computations that it can analyze well, is not going to work because of the impossibility to inline code across the Java <-> R boundary(+).

(+) Unless you'd run the Java code with Espresso (Java on Truffle), but then you would not be using Context API but Espresso's interop support.

Comment out the board.pop() in the following.

GraalJS (and GraalVM in general) has tight security/access controls by default. GraalJS is not exposing getSpeed() (or any other field or method) on the Train instance to JavaScript.

You can open up access to all host fields/methods with a configuration setting:

It seems that the simplest approach is to install jar files using mvn install:install-file. Here is a bat-file that could be useful for someone:

Following is the example with the corresponding request url & query params for which you can execute this scenario to get the response and GET Request as,
