Since you mentioned |>
, Elm has such operator with exactly the same meaning and the symmetric <|
one: (quoting from docs/syntax)
In addition to the normal math operations for addition and subtraction, we have the
(<|)
and(|>)
operators. They are aliases for function application, allowing you to write fewer parentheses.viewNames1 names = String.join ", " (List.sort names) viewNames2 names = names |> List.sort |> String.join ", " -- (arg |> func) is the same as (func arg) -- Just keep repeating that transformation!
Historical note: this is borrowed from F#, inspired by Unix pipes.
Relatedly,
(<<)
and(>>)
are function composition operators.
