+  The \pkg{Rcpp} package simplifies integrating \proglang{C++} code with
+  \proglang{R}. It provides a consistent \proglang{C++} class hierarchy that
+  maps various types of \proglang{R} objects (vectors, functions,
+  environments, ...) to dedicated \proglang{C++} classes. Object interchange
+  between \proglang{R} and \proglang{C++} is managed by simple, flexible and
+  extensible concepts which include broad support for popular \proglang{C++}
+  idioms from the Standard Template Library (STL). Using the \pkg{inline}
+  package, \proglang{C++} code can be compiled, linked and loaded on the fly.
+  Flexible error and exception code handling is provided.  \pkg{Rcpp}
+  substantially lowers the barrier for programmers wanting to combine
+  \proglang{C++} code with \proglang{R}.
+  
+  We discuss the features of the new \pkg{Rcpp} API, as introduced in the 
+  \texttt{0.7.*} series of the package and finalized in version \texttt{0.8.0}, 
+  and illustrate uses of the package with several examples, including 
+  simple manipulation of R objects in C++, integration with algorithms
+  from the Standard Template Library, use of the Armadillo C++ linear algebra
+  library through the \pkg{RcppArmadillo} package and mechanisms to simply 
+  and efficiently expose C++ functions and classes to R. 
+  
+  The combination of modern \proglang{C++} together with the interactive
+  environment provided by \proglang{R} creates a very compelling combination
+  for statistical programming.
