Having gotten my head fully around R pipes, I feel I need to write an article about it before I forget the fiddly details:

|>, %>%, with(), lambdas, %$%, ...

Also, %$% -- the exposition pipe -- why didn't any of you tell me about this one!?!? You're slacking!

RSMF Round 1 Projects | Software Sustainability Institute

Round 1 of the Research Software Maintenance Fund awarded just under £3 million to 13 projects selected for their potential to deliver high impact, value for money, feasibility, and quality. The funded projects span research areas supported by all seven UK research councils and involve software written in Python, R, C++, Fortran, JavaScript, and other languages. Listed below, the 13 successful projects are split into four large awards and nine small awards.

🚨 Breaking News: R enthusiasts celebrate the groundbreaking achievement of finally getting R to run in a browser... by enabling #JavaScript. 🎉 Because, of course, nothing screams #innovation like making a heavyweight statistical tool rely on a glorified calculator script. 🤦‍♂️
