Is there an R implementation for Java or .NET?

Is there Java or .NET version of R? (like Jython / IronPython for the Python language)

I guess some R-packages which use C or Fortran may not run on Java/.NET version of R, but as long as pure R code can be run, it must be great.

A pure Java implementation of R: https://www.renjin.org/

JRI allows you to call R from any Java program, so any language on the JVM should be able to call the JRI jars. See my example of how to use this in this question: R from within Java. As an example, there is a clojure library that is currently being developed around JRI by Joel Boehland: Rincanter (read about it here).

FastR is a GraalVM based implementation of R. It runs on any JVM, but with GraalVM you get extra performance with the Graal compiler and Truffle framework.

On top of running existing R scripts, it has some additional features w.r.t. embeddability in JVM applications and interoperability with JVM and other GraalVM languages (including JavaScript, Ruby, Python 3).

Renjin is a pure-JVM implementation of the R language. It's very much under development and not production ready, but making good progress.

If you needs stats on the pure JVM, you might try Incanter (www.incanter.org). It's an R-like library for Clojure, which brings lispy functional programming to the JVM. It looks like a really cool start-up with some potential. They have a pretty active user community already on their google group.
