This repo offers a super basic example of how you can set up an R project for functional programming - this is what Hugh generated during the TESS weekly meeting.
The workflow.R file contains the function calls but all functions are contained
in the /R directory. To run this project simply clone this repo, install the
packages that are in packages.R and run the workflow.R script.
For more information on functional programming and all it's awesome benefits, I strongly suggest you check out these book chapters:

This page now also includes a minimal {targets} example. {targets} is an amazing package for managing complex and/or long running workflows, helping to
ensure reproducibility and data integrity. The key relevant file for the targets workflow is located in the _targets.R file.
