This is very interesting! I am not personally familiar, unfortunately. However, I do not find it super surprising that this functionality might be either (1) missing or (2) hard to find in the R community, since the community has precious few computer scientists / micro-service architects compared to languages like Python and Go.
I think this functionality would make a very cool addition to the R community, though, if you are obliged to start such a package! If you are already making use of python, you could use the reticulate package to call out to a python library pretty easily. Alternatively, C++ via Rcpp would be another readily available option to building such things yourself.
I personally like using Go, but a lot of work still needs to be done to get Go compilation integrated nicely into the R ecosystem. There are a few experiments out there, but in my experience, they are very rough around the edges
