> an ornithological study of functional birds
Results of my exercises in gaining understanding of combinators, applied to R.
Inspired by the very approachable article [[1]] and its followup [[2]],
implementations of the M- and Y-combinator in idiomatic R are shown (that is, if
there is such a thing as *idiomatic* R; lets call it functional R).
I did not find any R packages providing a combinator toolset, the closest is
this parser toolkit [[3]]. At some point I might extend this into a proper
package for any needs of functional madness.
