I fell in love with Elixir's pipeline operator. It would be a joy to see it come to Javascript/Typescript.
I think the explicit "^" in one of the proposals can be a good idea.
Python's badly designed interface comes to mind:
(lambda i: i * 2) |> map([1, 2, 3])
vs
[1, 2, 3] |> map(lambda i: i * 2, ^)
But since "^" is already a binary operator, I would rather use "&1" (like in Elixir).
This would have the benefit of being consistent with a later partial function application syntax:
const add = (a, b, c) => a + b + c
const f = add(1, &1, &2)
f(2, 3) === 6
Note also that for promises, I think, a global then function should be provided:
const promise = new Promise(...)
|> then(&1, async result => ...)
