Contour: Modern and Fast Terminal Emulator
Possibly more universal, but there are also tools like rlwrap [1] that adds readline support to programs that don't have it. From the docs apparently the readline library ships a similar tool ootb nowadays but I haven't tried that and just noticed now when I wanted to share the rlwrap link.

Unable to use cltr r (readline reverse search) in R with macos
You could always use rlwrap (installable via homebrew). You would launch R with rlwrap R in that case. However, I suspect there is something else missing, because it appears that the R repl usually includes readline support. Thus my questions about installation method and OS.

Racket with cross-platform read-line

Just to throw another one of these bridge applications into the mix, here is one that allows Pageant apps to communicate with Windows' native ssh-agent.
