That looks interesting, I hadn't heard of the project. Will definitely have a look at the library.

But it defines its pipe function the same way RXJS does, separately for any number of arguments:

  function pipe<A>(a: A): A
  function pipe<A, B>(a: A, ab: (a: A) => B): B
  function pipe<A, B, C>(a: A, ab: (a: A) => B, bc: (b: B) => C): C
  function pipe<A, B, C, D>(a: A, ab: (a: A) => B, bc: (b: B) => C, cd: (c: C) => D): D
  ...

What’s the issue? This has been a common way to do this sort of thing since C++ template meta programming. Have you honestly ever broke the bounds?

There isn't necessarily any issue with it besides maybe not being very maintainable. I just tried to find a generic solution for the fun of it
