I'd definitely be interested in looking into this but I'm on an R team. Didn't see anything on how to contribute in another language or an API to hit. Will be there be information soon?
Hi. R is really important to us and we want to add support (probably through SparklyR). If you email me I can add you to our Slack channel and we can talk through extending Quilt (aneesh at quiltdata dot io). There is a sliver in our docs but it's not complete:
https://docs.quiltdata.com/basics.html
The hooks for extending build targets are here: https://github.com/quiltdata/quilt/blob/4aa6897f9e33349b7778...
Again it's a bit raw but we're here to help make R support easy.
