As someome who has spent the last year primarily with Elixir, it is impossible to overstate how nice pipeline |> is.

It is one of the most convenient and readable pieces of syntax, and one of the primary reasons I pause before using javascript instead of Elixir in a given moment.

I remember finding a first edition of this in my university library during undergrad after reading the likes of Watson/Crick describe it as fundamental in their path. What bowled me over was that each paragraph in that edition - and so very likely the ones they read as well - was marked with a section symbol (§), itself closely resembling a double helix. At the time it felt profound that their conclusion was likely implied by the circumstances of their beginning.
