FastR is a GNU R compatible implementation of R for GraalVM. It is currently based on R 3.6.1, reuses the base packages of GNU R and is compatible with the ecosystem.

For example, FastR can install and run unmodified complex R packages like ggplot2, Shiny, or Rcpp, for compatibility with other packages please refer to the compatibility checker: http://www.graalvm.org/docs/reference-manual/compatibility/.

Being implemented on top of GraalVM, FastR uses its state-of-the-art JIT compiler and has better peak performance, often several times faster than GNU R.

The R language components can be installed in GraalVM using the gu utility.
