If we also want to have a function in the Map module I think that the verb should be put, not update (since the operation described in my first post is effectively a put operation), so eitherx put_if or maybe_put.
Regarding the proposed Kernel macro, it seems to me that it can be used in a more general sense and not only for updating collections (the first argument can effectively be anything), so I like the run verb. It could also be apply_if. In both cases I personally I find the _if suffix more expressive than the maybe_ prefix, in my opinion this |> run_if(x == 1, some_fun) reads more naturally and better conveys the role of the arguments than |> maybe_run(x == 1, some_fun) -- Riccardo On Monday, June 8, 2020 at 2:57:32 AM UTC+2, Bruce Tate wrote: > I like the idea as well.
