See these two recent posts:

Nothing new since then, but the logical model for R would be a client/server 
approach, along the lines of what you reference for MATLAB or what has been 
done for Wolfram|Alpha.

I am guessing that SpaceTime gets around the interpreted language limitation by 
being a special purpose 'enhanced calculator', whereas R is a fully functional 
programming language. 

HTH,
