Description
### Feature request
The boiler plate code to access a dataset via the hugging face file system is very useful. Please addd
## Add Polars (R) option
The equivailent code works, because the [Polars-R](https://github.com/pola-rs/r-polars) wrapper has hugging faces funcitonaliy as well.
```r
library(polars)
df <- pl$read_parquet("hf://datasets/SALURBAL/core__admin_cube_public/core__admin_cube_public.parquet")
```
## Polars (python) option

## Libraries Currently

### Motivation
There are many data/analysis/research/statistics teams (particularly in academia and pharma) that use R as the default language. R has great integration with most of the newer data techs (arrow, parquet, polars) and having this included could really help in bringing this community into the hugging faces ecosystem.
**This is a small/low-hanging-fruit front end change but would make a big impact expanding the community**
### Your contribution
I am not sure which repositroy this should be in, but I have experience in R, Python and JS and happy to submit a PR in the appropriate repository.
