F#, Julia and Livescript have identical operators, likely among others. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd233229.aspx#Anchor_11 https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd233229.aspx#Ancho... http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.4/stdlib/base/?highlight=|%3E#Base.|%3E http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.4/stdlib/base/?highli... http://livescript.net/#piping http://livescript.net/#piping

Fair enough. I personally consider compound operators (asymmetrical) to be pretty risky (the do, indeed, depend on background), and I like '->' because it has a clear meaning outside of programming. But you're right, this is a bikeshed. I'd prefer either version of the pipeline operator to bind.
