run r function method in separate thread

[rcannood]

allows for:

• loading packages without messing up downstream environments
• interrupting computations even when c++ code is being executed?

Good idea, have a look at the runr package

[zouter]

To understand this right, this is for non-docker TI methods right?

I actually meant the callr package: https://github.com/r-lib/callr

I think having to run this in a separate R session kind of defeats the purpose of having an run R function. If you really need custom libraries, I think it is best if you just create an R package containing your R wrapper function, and doing @import or something for that function...
