The less surprising the behaviour the less friction. I've written a lot of weird tools and am still doing it, but if you have to reread the README every time you need to use something you might never integrate it into your workflow. I have a nakedpipe package that I enjoy using for my personal stuff from times to times but I can't use this in code that I'd send to clients. I don't know if typed is used much or at all (same for all of my work), I just know an issue opens or somebody says something about it online every 2 or 3 months, and I get a star on GitHub once in a while. Recently someone raised an issue to say their team considered using it but they're hesitant since it's not in active development, so you're right that being a lone developer might make it harder for your stuff to gain traction. This was a nice blog post, thanks.

I avoid adopting new syntaxes and have faced few dilemmas. But this package really tempts me.

It does look great, but it seems dormant maybe we can ping the author and see what he's planning on doing?

Ha! I wrote a blog post about lambda.r once: https://nevrome.medium.com/haskell-in-r-an-experiment-with-the-r-package-lambda-r-78f21c0f9fe6
