Summary

This paper introduces Rcpp, the most widely adopted mechanism for extending R with C++ code, explaining how the package’s Attributes feature makes moving data between the two languages straightforward and reliable compared to R’s traditional C API. The article targets practitioners who want near-C++ performance inside R without low-level boilerplate.
