Hey @shy-grass-43338 Kirk is interested in a R sdk for tasks

Yup, I think before a full fledged sdk, we should support this. This can be simple

05/23/2022, 2:27 PMit’s not super seamless, i.e. you need to read and parse inputs from stdin and write outputs to stdout + you need to package up the R code in a docker container, but it’ll work
