Hi @sorhawell. That looks really nice. There is some optional feature support for polar-rs in the library, but this is a great example of an R crate built with *extendr*....

Looks like a good idea. I would like to get started on a long form documentation for extendr. I'm going to be teaching Rust online for the next few days...

The lectures are for a private client, but I'll do some similar talks for my Oxford Rust group soon. My next public speaking engagement is for Cardiff Rust on the...

I'll try to organise something. I think that @dfalbel and others may be interested. I can make it very gentle! I'm going to be quite busy until next week, however....

This sounds like something to look at. Would you like to try a PR or would you like one of us to give it a try?

We did look at handling Result types in wrappers. It may still do so.

This only works because we catch panics and convert them to R errors. Panics should unwind the stack, dropping objects along the way. We should check that we have a...
