What are you talking about? I am using R on Slackware 14.1 on an ARM device. It works perfectly once you compile it.

You can use base R but (unless something has recently changed) not all packages are going to work. I also program in D - including interacting with R - and that won't currently work.

I have compiled numerous R packages as well (dplyr, ggplot2, FactoMineR) and they all work fine on ARM. I agree that you may face issues when it comes to packages relying on JAVA, but otherwise never seen any other problem so far on ARM.

Java 8 builds on all the 3 Debian ARM platforms so it probably works on Ubuntu too.

I don't know which D compiler you are using, but Debian builds gdc from GCC 5 for the 3 ARM platforms so it will probably work on Ubuntu Phone.
