Description

polars seems to support it but it's implemented on the python side: https://pola-rs.github.io/polars/py-polars/html/reference/api/polars.read_delta.html

the underlying delta lake interface lib is written in Rust though: https://docs.rs/deltalake/latest/deltalake/

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the existing Python delta lake reader implementation in Polars and the underlying Rust deltalake crate. Then implement R bindings using the extendr crate or similar.
