Make Cattaz able to execute R code snippets?

Hi there,

I had the opportunity to give cattaz a try and it looks promising! I was thinking also it would be nice if it could work with other languages than javascript for the code part. R in particular would be really nice for data science projects.

Cheers and keep up the good work.

Make Cattaz able to execute R code snippets.

Hi,

Cattaz is influenced by R Markdown.
I agree that R execution is a nice-to-have feature, however, it is quite difficult to run R in web browsers.
Do you have some ideas to realize it?

I was thinking maybe trying to connect Cattaz to IRkernel, to run the R code.

Some nice slides on Interactive Computing Protocol summing up the way Jupyter works:

It is an interesting idea.
I will investivate it.
