Can we get a default filetype for Rmarkdown *.Rmd?

I tried to specify a preferred interpreter but it looks like it errors out with a nil value here: https://github.com/hkupty/iron.nvim/blob/746f220f941158c6d75de3213d56aeeb0c917986/lua/iron/init.lua#L77

Hi @danjenson, I'm sorry I couldn't look at your issue before.

The way iron is currently implemented, since there's no definition for Rmd files, it can't set a preferred one. Of course that's suboptimal.

One way you could do this yourself is to add the following to your init.vim:

lua << EOF
require("iron.fts").rmd = {
  <name_of_rmd_repl> = {
    command = {"<executable>", "<argument>", ...}
  }
}
EOF

There are plenty of examples and most languages/repls are super simple, but if you have any questions, please don't refrain from asking - once again, sorry for the delay.

That seems hackish to me and I intend to make configuration simpler, after my ongoing cleanup PR (#174).

Best regards,
Henry
