If you're interested in the Ruby language too, check out this PoC gem for an "operator-less" syntax for pipe operations using regular blocks/expressions like every other Ruby DSL. https://github.com/lendinghome/pipe_operator#-pipe_operator "https://api.github.com/repos/ruby/ruby".pipe do URI.parse Net::HTTP.get JSON.parse.fetch("stargazers_count") yield_self { |n| "Ruby has #{n} stars" } Kernel.puts end #=> Ruby has 15120 stars [9, 64].map(&Math.pipe.sqrt) #=> [3.0, 8.0] [9, 64].map(&Math.pipe.sqrt.to_i.to_s) #=> ["3", "8"]

Check out this proof of concept gem to perform pipe operations in Ruby using block expressions: https://github.com/lendinghome/pipe_operator#-pipe_operator "https://api.github.com/repos/ruby/ruby".pipe do URI.parse Net::HTTP.get JSON.parse.fetch("stargazers_count") yield_self { |n| "Ruby has #{n} stars" } Kernel.puts end #=> Ruby has 15120 stars

Definitely agree regarding the strange semantics recently like the pipeline[0] or `.:` method reference[1] operators. I do think those kind of functional features would be handy if they behaved correctly and had a more Ruby-like syntax instead of introducing foreign looking operators. Luckily this new pattern matching feature appears to behave like expected and feels pretty natural - just a new `in` keyword and some variable binding syntax to familiarize ourselves with (which we already kind of use with statements like `rescue`). Awhile back we experimented with an alternative Ruby pipe operator proof of concept[2] that is "operator-less" and looks just like regular old Ruby blocks with method calls inside of it. Maybe there's still a chance for something like this now that those other implementations have been reverted! # regular inver
