Description

I have been learning R in a mix using base R and the tidyverse (mostly dplyr). I got concerned about [Language Unity](https://github.com/matloff/R-vs.-Python-for-Data-Science#language-unity), because I could started to use R _thanks_ to the tidyverse (just my experience of course) before using dplyr it was just too hard.
Have you ever written in detail about this issue so I can read more?
