What is the pipeline syntax like indeed? It looks as if your ``|`` is
an operator which produces callable objects, e.g.,
[1, 2, 3] | map
such that calling it like
[1, 2, 3] | map(x=>x+1)
will be equivalent to
map(x=>x+1, [1, 2, 3])
except that
<an object> | list
is apparently supposed to be a list without being called. But you
might have actually meant to call it like
[1, 2, 3] | map(x=>x+1) | filter(a=>a%2) | list()
to get the list.
The character ``|`` is OK with [1, 2, 3] , but it's already given a
meaning as an operator e.g., with {1, 2, 3} . Can the syntax separate
the different uses? I suppose it may be a new operator that you
want.
I thought some people had already essentially proposed an operator
version of functools.partial although
[1, 2, 3] | map
will not exactly be equivalent to partial(map, [1, 2, 3]) because it's
not
map([1, 2, 3], x=>x+1)
that you want. You want the arguments to be in a different order, but
that's the only difference.
