Hi a Streamlit team.
You have made an awesome product that I see would have widespread adoption in the R community. Coming from R, I do understand when Strreamlit claims that we can create web apps using pure Pyhton script. Shiny is not as pure R as many like to say For newcomers, it is convoluted. However, R is widely adopted and people have a lot of more confidence in messing around with it. Therefore, it would be great if something like streamlitR entered the game.
I second this! I know this is very far off, but this would be fantastic!
I use both Python and R extensively, and would love to either be able to use R in Streamlit and/or be able to use them both in the same app, like R magics in Jupyter notebooks.
This is an awesome idea. As it turns out, Streamlit is based on Google Protobufs, which is a language-agnostic data interchange layer. So architecturally, we’re ready for multi-language support in the future. Unfortunately though, this is “very far off” as you put it @nchelaru.
(Apologies for the delay getting back. We’ve been a bit overwhelmed keeping up with the forums and are doing our best to try to keep up with everyone! Please do let us know about your use cases for R and Streamlit, and we’d love to bear that in mind as we plan the future of the product.)
