Overview

About

Maintained by William BrannonFirst published 2026-03-191 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides a Scheme-inspired Lisp dialect embedded in R, with macros, tail-call optimization, and seamless interoperability with R functions and data structures. (The name 'arl' is short for 'An R Lisp.') Implemented in pure R with no compiled code.
