I would like to provide some simple functions I developed in Julia for R user through an R package. With JuliaCall, it should be easy, but I have some difficulties to make a link between Julia objects and functions in the R package.

To be clearer: I developed some package with C++ function call from R using Rcpp. And then, we can easily put C++ function in R package as for the R user, there is no need to care about C++.

Is there anyone with a road map to do the same thing with Julia? Or a package doing such stuff I could be inspired by?

Best

[Automatic Installation of Julia? · Issue #116 · Non-Contradiction/JuliaCall · GitHub](https://github.com/Non-Contradiction/JuliaCall/issues/116) is where the discussion is.
