A couple of links shared in chat that might be of interest

• http://www.cookbook-r.com/ Original website that Winson started on R generally, leading to R Graphics Cookbook.
• https://github.com/paleolimbot/ggr6 Implementing ggplot in R6

I haven't used R6 extensively, but one of the features that seem useful is the distinction between public and private methods of the class. In ggplot2, it is sort of guessing if a method is approved as an extension point whereas this appears explicit in R6.
