[R] would be nice ...

[Jan de Leeuw]

if R had something like

 > python -c "print(sum([1,2,3]));print(3*2)"
6
6

but I guess the only way to do this is by writing the string to
a tmp file and then doing something like "R CMD BATCH --quiet"
on the tmp file

I would like to use this for an R service, which allows you to
select any string in any application and replace it by its
R evaluation
