every filter operates on its input. in this case the input was an array.

every map implementation ive seen has type function(a,b) -> list(a) -> list(b)

select(contains("good/")) is a function from string -> string|void

so map plus a voidable function equals a filter

| just means connect 2 filters

if you have a stream you turn it into a array with the array constructor []

if you have an array you turn it into a stream with the producer operator .[]

the api is super orthogonal and well designed. but you do have to understand the model

Right, I already believe it all makes sense when you understand the model, but the model isn't super obvious and I often find myself Googling things for reference because I don't use it very often; however, I do use regular programming languages and I can reason about those more easily (although while I like Go, I would be more inclined to used a Python- or JS-like language for something like this).
