  They are not fully-aligned goals, and autocomplete should not be given equal consideration on par with human clarity. If you want nice autocomplete too, that's fine, but if there is a tradeoff, human understanding is the primary concern.

    I don't understand why do you think about it this way C#'s LINQ (really powerful tool similar to SQL) works the same way look: var list = new List<int>{1,2,3} var extracted = list .............................Where(x => x > 1) .............................Select(x => $"my number: {x}) .............................ToList(); or var extarcted = ........................from x in list ........................where x > 1 ........................select $"my number: {x};

      Technically to be equivalent you need to wrap the second one in parentheses so you can use ToList() on it. Unfortunately a bit ugly. I'm not sure why they didn't add one more keyword to handle pipelining into other functions. Something like "feed", "into", or "pipe". Or just pluck the |> operator from F#.
