Limited C API is not as abstract as HPy. Most notably Limited C API still exposes reference counting as memory management mechanism, HPy abstracts that. However, ecosystem wide adoption of limited C API and stable ABI would already improve

There is basic GraalPy support in Maturin[0] and PyO3[1], the problem is often that packages require older Maturin/PyO3 versions and/or they use CPython-isms, semi-public APIs, etc., but it is getting better, for example [2]. It i

FastR can actually run all tests of the development version of dplyr with a simple patch. We're working on removing the need for that patch altogether. data.table is a different beast and we will probably provide and maintain patched v

FastR also uses native BLAS and LAPACK libraries. It should be possible to link it with Intel MKL as well. We didn't want to include comparison to R-3.5.X, because FastR itself is based on the base library of 3.4.0, but the results for
