Introducing Rlinguo, a native mobile app that runs R
"{shiny} on my mobile" has been a recurring request from our clients for some time now. And it’s easy to see why: you might have a fantastic model or efficient data wrangling process, and you need people to access it on their smartphones—even in the middle of the forest with no cell connection (yes, that was an actual request from one of our clients). Yet, our response has always been the same: "Sorry, that’s not possible." {shiny} relies on a server, and since R can’t run directly on a phone, a remote server is required. That means an internet connection is necessary. And no, you can’t publish it to an app store. In recent months, however, something new has emerged—a development that R enthusiasts have been dreaming of for years: R, compiled for WebAssembly. If you’re unfamiliar with WebAssembly, think of it as a way to run R inside JavaScript. If you’re already acquainted with it, you’ll know it’s a bit more nuanced than that, but I’ll spare the technical details for now. This new tool is called webR.

Fortran on WebAssembly
A little context: this dive into Fortran is part of the excellent work George has been doing on WebR, to get R running in the browser. The R sources contain a fair bit of Fortran code, and I believe WebR originally used f2c to compile the Fortran to C first, before compiling that to wasm.
With the patches to LLVM Flang, WebR can be built with a real Fortran compiler.
I think George didn't want to say it directly in the blog post, but he has said that he's hoping that Flang would take his patches or implement better ones. That would be a win-win -- these patches wouldn't need to be maintained separately, and since unmodified Flang would be able to compile to wasm, it would benefit other projects out there that use Fortran.

- WebR – R in the Browser (using WASM)
- Shinylive for R?
- JupyterLite is a JupyterLab distribution that runs in the browser

R on android?
I don't think it's close to useful - but the R in webassembly webR, that runs in the browser looks interesting.
