Comparison with extendr
What the hell is this?? Why do you need another framework when there’s extendr?
extendr is great and ready to use! However, I needed to create a new, simple framework to experiment with. The main goal of savvy is to provide a simpler option other than extendr, not to be a complete alternative to extendr.
Pros and cons compared to extendr
Pros:
(Now that extendr has been improved so much, I think savvy lost all the obvious pros. Kudos to the extendr developers!)
Cos:
- savvy prefers explicitness over ergonomics
- savvy provides limited amount of APIs and might not fit for complex usages
