Compatibility between sf and raster

Right now you'll have to be satisfied with doing

raster(as(nc, "Spatial"))

there is a follow-up project to sf, called stars [1], which will try to
look beyond raster, rather than redo raster or make raster and sf
compatible. Stars will consider compatibility with raster, but don't
hold your breath.

stars development will start soon.

Dear list members,

Is there any plan to make compatible the sf and the raster packages?

library(sf)
library(raster)

nc <- st_read(system.file("shape/nc.shp", package="sf"))
