D doesn't have pipes, being a C-like (it probably could, but it's untypical), but it has something almost as good: "uniform function call syntax", meaning that a function that takes X as its first parameter can be called as if it was a method of X. `foo(x)` => `x.foo()`. This makes functional programming in D a lot closer to the pipe example, in that you're usually passing a lazy iterator ("range") through a sequence of chained calls.

Every C-like language should copy this idea, imo.
