Official R plans?
In the R world, there is a very popular and efficient Rcpp package, that provides a great level of integration of C++ projects into R universe. For example, the torch project is an libtorch interface for R that is very similar to PyTorch API. So everyone with experience with PyTorch can easily use it from R if they wish.
This probably is the same as #60 I would gladly take a look though.
Yea on our end it's not a top priority. But if someone is interested in contributing this, that would be great. To start it could be a separate community maintained repo. In the future we could integrate it into ml-explore if that's desired / makes sense. But at the moment we don't have bandwidth to support/implement it ourselves :)
