I feel like Julia is probably the thing that solves the technical / performance issues with R. That said, R’s strength these days is about expressive power through the Tidyverse collection of libraries and DSLs. If I were to pick an “R Next” project, it’d be to focus on a better, more expressive Tidyverse for Racket that plays even more nicely with relational databases and frameworks like Spark.
