Hi all 👋 I am currently evaluating MetaFlow for our data science team and have a couple questions. About half of the team uses

R

as their primary language. I see that there is R support, but it is in "maintenance mode." Is there any more information one can give about

R

support? A couple immediate questions come to mind: 1. What does "maintenance mode" mean? 🙂 2. What features are missing compared to python? 3. Are there plans to continue maintaining this language? 4. If so, is there a backlog where I can find next steps / timelines?

Hi @refined-insurance-51213! Sorry for the delay here. R support for metaflow is not entirely at parity with all the features that Pythonic metaflow offers today.

Thanks @ancient-application-36103! is there a way to figure out which features are not at parity? I'm looking to help set expectations for the set of R users so that they are not blindsided by missing functionality. Also, would the R package still work with a self-hosted AWS MetaFlow setup? I'm hoping that at least it is compatible with the backend side of things so that everyone can point to the same ECS system, for example.
