Facebook's Prophet in EViews

Hi

Facebook has made a software package called Prophet that can be used for forecasting and that is becoming increasingly popular. It is open source and runs in R, see https://research.fb.com/prophet-forecasting-at-scale/ and https://facebook.github.io/prophet/

It would be great if you could create an add-in for Prophet.

Earlier you have made the excellent add-in RGETS http://forums.eviews.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=18338 which connects to R and runs the program GETS. Maybe some of this code can be reused so that it would not be too much work for you to create a Prophet add-in?
