Thanks for your feedback. Currently, we don’t have any plans for R support in Functions. We will monitor the votes on this request to accordingly inform the priority on our backlog.

This is business critical for us and so far the problem seems to be that it is way to hard to simply run a R-script on Azure the same way you would be able to execute a Python / JS script on Azure functions. I do not want to run a container / VM machine the whole time when I simply want to run 30-100 scripts that run for 10-60 seconds.

The request for R support is still in review. We're actively tracking demand across community and customer forums to find the right place for R on the prioritized list of languages (amongst Python, PowerShell, Go and TypeScript).
