FastR is a GNU R compatible implementation of R on top of GraalVM. It is
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 than GNU R.

The R language component can be added to GraalVM using the gu utility.
