Stand alone application using R

Hello everyone.......

I am curious to develop a stand-alone application using R and I am exploring
how to do it. Shiny can be used if it is a web application!

But which programming is more suitable and can be easily bundled with R? 

Java? or python? or something else? What do u prefer?

Thanks in advance for your help... Good day... :)

-Manoj G

There are many examples - the GUIs bundled with R (R.app for Mac, Rgui, rterm for Windows) or packages like Rserve (C), RInside (C++), JGR (Java), ...
The native language for embedding R is C, but there are embedding interfaces for other languages, so it really depends on your taste and the complexity you are willing to  tolerate.

Thanks Simon,

I will go ahead with JGR now. 

There are java packages like rJava and RCaller. And i found they are not
useful after a certain extent. How different is JGR from these two?

I am willing to tolerate more complexity but, i am curious to develop a more
sophisticated application where i want to see R outputs in some some other
environment without using R console.

Thank,
Manoj G

Would you mind elaborating on how rJava and RCaller
"are not useful after a certain extent"?  I.e., are there
bugs, memory leaks, too limited an API, or other problems
with them?

JGR is using JRI from rJava for the R/Java interface.
