Re:Programming R at native speed using Haskell

I've long had an unrealized dream of doing something similar with R and Racket as the HaskellR people have done. I've thought that it would be cool to:
1. implement R or something very akin to R as a Racket language. I'd call it "Arket" because is far more Googleable than R or Racket ;-) Functions would be callable either from Arket or Racket.
2. Ensure that all my important R packages work with Arket, either by porting or by virtue of similarity between Arket and R.
3. Use Racket for everything.
I think this would be great until I realize I would need to do a lot of work to create this.
