That's a possibility. The same arrow then means "this function produces that value" in a definition, and "this value then goes into that function" in an expression. > I don’t like the fact this is used only as a first parameter.

It's like how dot chaining of methods only works for the return value becoming the 'self' parameter - yes, that's incredibly restrictive, but in real world situations, that's easily the most common form needed. Otherwise you end up with a much more complicated proposal with far less beauty to it.
