There's renv that addresses that point already: https://rstudio.github.io/renv/articles/renv.html
> There's no Django for R.
Nowadays you can integrate R with WebR (WASM) in a web app: https://docs.r-wasm.org/webr/latest/
And of course on the web side you have shiny (https://shiny.posit.co), which now also comes in a python flavour.
Aside -- we tried using dash in our production app and then had to remove it after a month, because these types of frameworks that spit out front-end code are almost never flexible enough to do what you actually need to do in a full app context, and you end up doing more work to fight the framework versus the time-savings from the initial prototype.
But the fact that there's no Django for R means shiny's a dead-end for a production web app.
