Add support for R

[raxod502]

The ess package looks like a good candidate for this.

In order to support R Markdown, we'll also need:

• pandoc
• polymode

Plus, the setup script will need to ensure that R is installed, and install any necessary packages for processing R Markdown.

Closing for the moment as I thankfully don't have to deal with R anymore. If you want it, please comment.

Hey! Need R support. Don't need R markdown, just need R syntax + org babel, can you comment on how one might go about adding it to radian?

[raxod502]

I'd suggest looking at some of the other languages that are supported, e.g. any sub-section under Languages. R would be no different. The configuration for package management is self-contained, so you just need to add the relevant use-package forms under a new section and then :config away.

I would start with (use-package ess) and go from there. Good luck!

Closing as stale. I don't use R, and am unlikely to work on this.
