Hi to all, Yes, R would be a language like Python that I believe we should have in our toolset and even as I had already raised it, I'm also very interested in working on this part of making a frontend with R.
However, am I understanding after your last mail that the idea here is to do something different from what happens with Python today? Was not that clear to me? Or would it make a frontend similar to what we have in Python and in the future for Scala too, correct?
