Wickham explained very well the contrast between piping in R and method chaining in Python. I am tired of hearing python guys say they have a pipe in pandas; no you don't, period.

R does not have mypy or Ruff. Standard library names are nonsensical. Object system dangerous. Good for mathematicians. Bad for Software Engineers.
