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, but it's not perfect in some points (e.g., error handling) and it's kind of stuck; extendr is too feature-rich and complex that no one can introduce a big breaking change easily. So, 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:

• You can use Result for error handling instead of panic!
• You can compile your package for webR (I hope extendr gets webR-ready soon)

Cos:

• savvy prefers explicitness over ergonomics
• savvy provides limited amount of APIs and might not fit for complex usages
