It may be possible to create an R-like programming language that transcompiles into R code (or otherwise constructs R objects and calls R functions). I'm not sure whether it would pass R check or not, I will probably try... But the bigger question is: Should CRAN accept packages written in such a way? I could email Kurt Hornik or Uwe Ligges, and ask them. However, I thought that I would ask

Abs (?), I have thought about and have (somewhere "up near the top" of my todo list) prototyping a preprocessor for R, and I have relevant code that emits (transpiles, in a way) structured comments into S4 code in https://github.com/gmbecker/S4Coffee. All that said, until/unless the preprocessor is officially part of the R CMD build step, what putting code like that on CRAN would look like is you keep the raw code in /inst somewhere, and you do the emitting of R code into R/ before building the tarball for submitting. And if you do that CRAN w...
