Hi everyone,
I’d like to share an experimental R package I’ve been working on called xafty .
The idea is to model data pipelines as networks (directed acyclic graphs) rather than fixed, top-to-bottom scripts. Each transformation is registered as a reusable node, and the pipeline is assembled dynamically at runtime based on the variables or objects you request.
This is very much a beta / exploratory project and still has many rough edges. There are several open challenges, but after working on the project for roughly 1.5 years, I have created a prototype that is close to what I wanted to build.
If this sounds interesting, you can find more details on the accompanying pkgdown site:

I really welcome any feedback!
Thank you for your time!
David
