Understanding Rserve and Its Connection to the R Workspace Rserve is an interface to the R programming language that allows external programs to execute R code. It provides a way for developers to connect to R from other languages, such as Ruby, Python, or Java, using different binding libraries. In this context, we’ll focus on working with Rserve via Ruby bindings. When establishing a connection to Rserve, it’s common practice to persist the connection globally to avoid the overhead of tearing it down and re-building it as needed.
