             Summary: Pipeline Operator Support (possibly for groovy 6)
                 Key: GROOVY-12220
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-12220
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Aleks Tamarkin


Suggestion to add a functional pipline operator to Groovy

Groovy already prioritized writing code left to right with awesome improvements 
over java like `someString.toURL()` instead of `new URL(someString)`

A pipleine operator could make this even more universal

Example implementation using xor `^`
{code:java}
class PipleineOperator {
  static xor(Object self, Closure c) {
    c(self)
  }
}

class Foo { static foo(v) { v + 3 } }
Closure example = { 
   def x = { it ** 2 + it }
   4 ^ x ^ { it / 2 } ^ (Foo.&foo)
}

use(PipleineOperator) {
  example() // 4 -> 4 * 4 + 4 = 20 -> 20 / 2 = 10 -> 10 + 3 = 13
}{code}

Example in F#

Thanks in advance for taking a look
