You should look at CRAN for current and meaningful hints. Start at<br>
<br>

<a href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=RInside" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://cran.r-project.org/<wbr>package=RInside</a> # Vienna, main host<br>
<br>
where the DESCRIPTION file with its BugReports URL points to GitHub:<br>
<br>
R> packageDescription("RInside")[<wbr>["BugReports"]]<br>
[1] "<a href="https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rinside/issues" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/<wbr>eddelbuettel/rinside/issues</a>"<br>

<br>
also points at the SVN (which I'll fix now) but it _also_ contains a more<br>
current ChangeLog subset.<br>
<br>
Google points me (even in no-cookie, anon mode) to GitHub too for I search<br>
for 'RInside source code'. GitHub is second, the SVN in not in the top-ten.<br>

</span>RInside uses Rcpp to talk R, making use of the _embedding API_ of R.<br>
<br>
As R is *very* good at maintaining its interfaces, we have not needed many<br>
changes for RInside. It. Just. Works.<br>

<br>
</span>You misunderstand how one embed R. You very much want RInside, and it will<br>
work just fine for your use case -- which is what it was made for.<br>
