Jupyter notebooks do support multiple languages. However, sharing objects among the languages is a whole another thing.

The sharing objects thing seems like it would be fraught with errors and mismatches. R has a fundamentally different structuring than Python. From factors to numerics, and vectors.

R's "everything is a vector" approach does introduce a wrinkle but not hard to work with once you expect it: https://pub.beakernotebook.com/#/publications/560b5722-f287-...

If you can find an error in our implementation I would be happy to hear about it (ideally file an issue on github).

I am not an expert in R and I don't expect autotranslation to cover every case, but I think what we have is useful, and I look forward to continuing to improve it based on community feedback.

I'll give this another look. Was hoping for somethings in the Jupyter notebook that didn't materialize.
