It does bring out that the requirement of using functions to get around the lack of placeholders is not free but exacts a small penalty in terms of performance (in addition to verbosity). The bizarro pipe supports placeholders and so doesn't require functions as a workaround and thus would presumably be even faster. It is also perfectly consistent with the rest of R and requires no new syntax. You have to explicitly add a dot as the first argument but this seems a better compromise to me than those involved with |> . ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
