Plumbers, chains, and famous painters: The history of the pipe operator in R

Automated excerpt

How can you implement F#’s forward pipe operator in R? Without the chain function, in dplyr you needed to read the verbs from inside out: arr = mean(ArrDelay, na. rm = TRUE), dep = mean(DepDelay, na. rm = TRUE) ## 1 2011 2 4 44. 1 47. 2 ## 2 2011 3 3 35. 1 38. 2 ## 3 2011 3 14 46. 6 36. 1 ## 4 2011 4 4 38. 7 27. 9 ## 5 2011 4 25 37. 8 22. 3 ## 6 2011 5 12 69. 5 64. 5 ## 7 2011 5 20 37.
