Thank you. This is the best tutorial on `purrr` I've seen.

i liked this video until the RStudio showed up and tiny tiny text on a white bg made it impossible to know what was going on.

The end was just crazy

Tom, Very nice presentation until the end when you started running through loads of code. It was very hard to keep up since you kept changing things (and often not explaining why). A lot of these base functions like .Last etc I had not seen before and found confusing.

Why would it be impossible to bring in data in pure function? Read.csv(paste(...,".csv", sep="")) or even sep=. Or whatever.... No?

[@haraldurkarlsson1147]

For most part very clear. Although it seems to me that functional programming is simply programming with functions. There seems to be a tendency to over-explain simple ideas and concepts in general. Also calling a function "average" and having it run "median" is simply confusing.
