The paper by Ross Ihaka and Duncan Temple Lang titled "Back to the
Future: Lisp as a Base for a Statistical Computing System" discusses
building a new foundation for R on top of Common Lisp, but I don't know
if any work is being done in this direction. The idea is to leverage the
progress that has been made in the Common Lisp community while
maintaining much of the syntax and convenience of R.

But as has been pointed out in this thread, if most of the work is
already being done in C, then this will not help much.
