#2That backslash syntax is pretty funky, but then again all of R is a little funky. Very nice addition to the language though!

#3Better late than never, but dplyr solved the pipe problem long time ago.

AFAIK the same as in Julia.

#6I'm sure some of us who are out of the loop might be wondering: what about the magrittr pipe operator (%>%) that we all know and love?
Luke Tierney explains the move from %>% to a native pipe |> here [1]. The native pipe aims to be more efficient as well as addresses issues with the magrittr pipe like complex stack traces.
Turns out the |> syntax is also used in Julia, Javascript and F#.
The lambda syntax (\(x) -> x + 1) is similar to Haskell's (\x -> x + 1).

#7I think I'm going to appreciate the native pipes, it will likely improve the readability of my data.table chains.

i’m new to R but I really prefer the |> to %>%
Much better to use the OCaml, F# syntax.
Think Julia uses it too.

Agreed but |> instead of %>% is certainly easier to type! I’ll be interested in trying it out at least
