Etc. Better in my opinion, because the standard library is mostly functions in the global namespace is to add pipe operator, it has been voted on but not passed yet due to some limitation. Pipe operator is more flexible because you can use your own functions when chaining. And then of course there are libraries that does this, which is similar to how Java does it, compare float vs Float.
