Create Page Layout Visualizations in R

I like it but it makes it hard to take R as a serious programming language (thankfully it's not in standard R) because where else would you actually use a coding pattern like:

    a = "foo"
    a = "bar"

reusing variables is silly.

The alternative is to use a different variable for each data transformation, which has costs for both system memory and code readability. And modern data analysis has a lot of transformations.
