Pipe Operator

The |> operator chains transformations left to right, without nested calls or throwaway intermediate variables.

Basic usage

task double(x):
    return x * 2

task add_one(x):
    return x + 1

let result = 5 |> double |> add_one
show result   # 11

Without the pipe operator, the same computation reads inside-out:

let result = add_one(double(5))

|> reads in the order the operations actually happen, which matters more the longer the chain gets.

Chaining more steps

task clean(text):
    return text.trim()

task shout(text):
    return text.upper()

let result = "  hello world  " |> clean |> shout
show result   # "HELLO WORLD"

Where it pairs naturally

|> is particularly suited to think-based pipelines, where each stage transforms a document or a response into the next stage's input — see think.
