In this article, I propose a new approach to language interfacing for statistical software by allowing automatic interprocess communication between R and Stata. I advocate interactive language interfacing in statistical software by automatizing data communication. I introduce the rcall package and provide examples of how the R language can be used interactively within Stata or embedded into Stata programs using the proposed approach to interfacing. Moreover, I discuss the pros and cons of object synchronization in language interfacing.
