rmonad: pipelines you can compute on

The rmonad package presents a monadic pipeline toolset for chaining functions into stateful, branching pipelines. As functions in the pipeline are run, their results are merged into a graph of all past operations. The resulting structure allows downstream computation on node documentation, intermediate data, performance stats, and any raised messages, warnings or errors, as well as the final results. rmonad is a novel approach to designing reproducible, well-documented, and maintainable workflows in R.
