The next step after pipe operators would be reverse assignment statements to capture the results.

I find myself increasingly frustrated at seeing code like 'let foo = many lines of code'. Let me write something like 'many lines of code =: foo'.

> reverse assignment statements to capture the results

Interesting idea! However, I'm not sure I would prefer

"Mix water, flour [...] and finally you'll get a pie"

to

"To make a pie: mix water, flour [...]"

R does have a right assign operator, namely ->

It's use is discourages in most style guides. I do not use it in scripts, but I use it heavily in console/terminal workflows where I'm experimenting.

df |> filter() |> summarise() -> x

x |> mutate() -> y
