duckdb connections support for R

[sounkou-bioinfo]

Hi,
Thank you for this great package.

I want to ask if there were plans to support duckdb connection for the R version of the package or how one could implement this

Thank you

@sounkou-bioinfo I definitely support your proposal!
However, the workload to integrate duckdb will be large, so it is my next milestone for the package, which may take months.

Meanwhile, I recommend you to check out the sibling of GWalker, PyGWalker, if you use Python, as it already supports duckdb computation and it is much more developed.

Regarding how developers could implement customized features for the package, I will write some instructions in the docs soon. Stay tuned! ☺️

@sounkou-bioinfo We just had a pre-release version for GWalkR with the computation powered by DuckDB! Check it out v0.2.0-alpha and welcome to give it a shot!
