There is a large number of R DataFrame library users, many of whom would certainly enjoy being able to read Delta tables. Would it be feasible to add R bindings to this library?

There is a zero323/dlt library, which is a Delta Lake interface for SparkR, but that has a Spark dependency.

There is also a Delta Sharing R Connector, but that requires a Delta Sharing server.

It'd be awesome if we could provide R users with a "dependency free" way of loading Delta tables into R DataFrames.

This should be very useful, I'd like to see delta-rs provide R binding

Duplicate of #537.

I think the best path forward is to first implement ADBC in delta-rs (see #830). Then we can create R and other bindings more easily, without having to write as much custom code for each implementation. (If we had to do for R what we've done so far for Python, it would take a while.)
