Hmm that's a good point about the pipeline operator. But I'm not sure how I feel about having both idioms readily available. In which cases would you choose forwards processing instead of backwards, you know? I'll have to think more about that.

Ooh I like that! I think I would like it even more if "each" was a reserved word, like "this" in e.g. Java. But maybe that's a bit much.

Yes, sorry. I talk to functional people a lot so we tend to use "ADT" for the algebraic ones (those FP people are all about brevity it seems).

Glad to have that confirmed, though. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something.

Could you clarify a bit? I'm not sure I follow exactly what you mean about the syntax being unclear. It seems similar to Haskell, except with parentheses, which doesn't seem terrible.

Oh I see! I totally misread that example. Thanks for the clarification!
