To my knowledge, every inflix operation in R has a corresponding function. Together with the pipe operator, this is really, really nice, and is kinda similar to what you propose, but perhaps the other way around, so to speak.

I feel like this helped me understand the power of "everything is/as a function" to the point of wanting to go back and try lisp again.

Sibling post suggest making Python-esq DSL on top of lisp, and I really like that idea.
