Description

Thanks so much for providing the package, great help in everyday work!

Would you consider extending the language list with R? The two R script below are all that is needed: https://github.com/yihui/formatR https://code.google.com/archive/p/google-rlint/

This will make Atom much more popular among R users. Many thanks!

Research direction
The issue requests adding R language support using formatR and google rlint. First, check the repository's current state: the description indicates a migration to Unibeautify and limited bandwidth. Review existing language implementations (e.g., in src/languages/) to understand the plugin structure. Then, integrate the R formatters as per the provided GitHub and Google Code links. Confirm if the maintainer is still accepting contributions for Atom Beautify or recommends contributing to Unibeautify instead. Also, check comments for any updates or blockers.
