Readability isn't the best. Also what you present here is method chaining and not functional pipes.

  Is the difference mostly syntactic?
  • archarios 3y ago
    with dot chaining you are restricted to only the functions that the API you're working with provides. With functional pipes you can use whatever functions you want.
    • sampo 3y ago
      In this case, the API provides .pipe, with which you can then use whatever functions you want.

  What difference does it make? They're conceptually the same thing. You're mapping immutable data to map/reduce/filter like pure functions to get new data.

    Improved code readability. The pipe operator was a game changer for me even after 20 years of programming (I know I was probably touching wrong things).
