The field of poppy flowers at Hampton Court Palace is spectacular.
The best time to visit is in the morning, when the flowers are fully open.
This brightened up my morning.

I wanted to have access to the default R number generator (Mersenne Twister) and specifically normally distributed random numbers in Rust.
With helpful pointers by @josi and @rstub I spent a weekend linking to the minimal amount of C code from the R source to get `runif()` and `rnorm()` to replicate between R and Rust.

This water lily is flowering in my wildlife pond, happy to grow among the duck weed and algae.
It reminds me to be hopeful and grateful, despite the overwhelming sense of darkness in the world.

Is it possible to use the Rust foreign function interface (FFI) to call R functions?
I want to access the R random number generator to reproduce some earlier work, but implemented in Rust.

Version 0.2.0 is substantially faster and no longer suffers from a node stack overflow.

I've released an updated version of the {config} #rstats package to CRAN.

config 0.3.2 has several new features, especially better handling of R expressions in the config.yml. In particular, you can now refer to other configuration values in the R expression.

The package also has a new function `with_config()` that might be useful for testing and in vignettes.
