It would be great if it would allow R functions; it's a much better engine for stats than Sage.

Sage covers many things, including symbolic algebra. TMK R does not handle those well ...

Absolutely true. But being able to invoke both would make the software incredibly powerful.

You can invoke R from Sage.

For numeric computations on statistical data I would recommend to keep using R. R does not do symbolic algebra, which is what makes Mathematica so impressive.

If you can use python libraries there are a few libraries which allow you to use R functions through python, so that may be an option.
