Maybe I missed it in the whole discussion, but since R 4.2.0 the base R
pipe operator also has a placeholder '_' to specify where the result of
the left-hand side should be used in the right-hand side (see
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-announce/2022/000683.html).
So the only difference
This is both true and misleading.
The shell pipe operation came from functional
programming. In fact the shell pipe operation
is NOT "flip apply", which is what |> is, but
it is functional composition. That is
out = let out = command
cmd1 | cmd2 = \x.cmd2(cmd1(x)).
Pragmatically, the Unix shell
With 50 years of programming experience, just think about how useful
pipe operator is in shell scripting. The output of previous call becomes
the input of next call... Genious idea from our beloved unix
conversion...

Not factual... just opinion. Please be conscious of your biases and preface
opinion with a disclaimer.
I heard identical complaints from embedded assembly language programmers when C

R is a functional language, hence the pipe operator is not needed.
Also it makes the code unreadable as it is less obvious how a call stack
looks like and what the arguments to the function calls are.
It is relevant for a shell for piping text streams.

Dear John,
some more experienced users might give you a different and more helpful
answer, but I was not really convinced by the pipe operator until I
tried it out, for the same reasons as you.
In my opinion, the pipe operator is there only to improve the
readability of your code. Think

The pipe shortens code and results in fewer variables because you do not
have to save intermediate steps. Once you get used
