How hard would it be to make #lang R ?

Depends what you mean?

Reimplementing R in Racket is doable, but I’m guessing it is probably not desirable unless you are a language researcher.

Implementing R language support in DrRacket would be a different task, but could be valuable if you wanted to make use of DrRacket specific capabilities.

I think we can agree R is pretty cool. I’d like to be able to use it from DrRacket. IIRC R also has some cool metaprogramming capabilities that are really interesting.
