mirai - Minimalist Async Evaluation Framework for R
Designed for simplicity, a 'mirai' evaluates an R expression asynchronously in a parallel process, locally or distributed over the network, with the result automatically available upon completion. Modern networking and concurrency built on 'nanonext' and 'NNG' (Nanomsg Next Gen) ensure reliable and efficient scheduling, over fast inter-process communications or TCP/IP secured by TLS. Advantages include being inherently queued thus handling many more tasks than available processes, no storage on the file system, support for otherwise non-exportable reference objects, an event-driven promises implementation, and built-in asynchronous parallel map.

R binding for NNG (Nanomsg Next Gen), a successor to ZeroMQ. NNG is a socket library implementing 'Scalability Protocols', a reliable, high-performance standard for common communications patterns including publish/subscribe, request/reply and service discovery, over in-process, IPC, TCP, WebSocket and secure TLS transports. As its own threaded concurrency framework, provides a toolkit for asynchronous programming and distributed computing, with intuitive 'aio' objects which resolve automatically upon completion of asynchronous operations, and synchronisation primitives allowing R to wait upon events signalled by concurrent threads.

Fast and memory-efficient streaming hash functions and base64 encoding / decoding. Hashes strings and raw vectors directly. Stream hashes files potentially larger than memory, as well as in-memory objects through R's serialization mechanism. Implementations include the SHA-256, SHA-3 and 'Keccak' cryptographic hash functions, SHAKE256 extendable-output function (XOF), and 'SipHash' pseudo-random function.

An implementation of 'Ichimoku Kinko Hyo', also commonly known as 'cloud charts'. Static and interactive visualizations with tools for creating, backtesting and development of quantitative 'ichimoku' strategies. As described in Sasaki (1996, ISBN:4925152009), the technique is a refinement on candlestick charting, originating from Japan and now in widespread use in technical analysis worldwide. Translating as 'one-glance equilibrium chart', it allows the price action and market structure of financial securities to be determined 'at-a-glance'. Incorporates an interface with the OANDA fxTrade API <https://developer.oanda.com/> for retrieving historical and live streaming price data for major currencies, metals, commodities, government bonds and stock indices.
