Demystifying WebR: Powering R in the Browser
I recently watched a compelling presentation by Bob Rudis, titled Bob Rudis - Into the WebR-Verse. Rudis breaks down the technical intricacies of bringing R into the web ecosystem using WebAssembly (WASM). This alignment positions R to function natively in browsers, shifting paradigms for data science. Understanding WebAssembly (WASM) WASM serves as a binary instruction format that allows high-performance execution of code in web environments. Introduced in 2015, it aims to bridge the performance gap traditionally associated with JavaScript.
