This is something I'm looking forward to in Java 9. There is already a big effort in bringing R language to the JVM (google for project fastr on bitbucket) and it might be just a beginning. It might finally bring the interoperability between other, more specific languages and take advantage of vast amounts of libraries available for Java and other JVM languages.
Edit: link to the fastr https://bitbucket.org/allr/fastr https://bitbucket.org/allr/fastr
It's open source, and they encourage people to participate.

Anyway this is impressive: https://bitbucket.org/allr/fastr/src/dcae74ecaaf3291f93ae2c0d314a9d0aeecbb347/com.oracle.truffle.r.test.cran/ok.packages?at=default https://bitbucket.org/allr/fastr/src/dcae74ecaaf3291f93ae2c0...
