R Project for Statistical Computing

This project aims to further bolster the rco (The R Code Optimizer) package and make it a one stop solution for rendering efficient R code. By efficient I mean, a restructured (sometimes, restructuring may not take place) R code that has faster execution times and has a better resource/memory management. Since, code optimization is a topic that really intrigues me and is quite close to me, I've given this project considerable time and energy. Looking forward to some guidance from the folks over at R community. Thanks!! Towards, the end I've contributed 4 new optimizers to the package, fixed critical bugs, helped clean the pending PRs and carried out experimentation to shift our project to Github Actions.
