I’m admittedly not primarily a TS dev, but I agree with your points completely. Even though you’re reading the piped functions right to left, and most code is going to be read from left to right, in order for a parameter to be passed like a value it’s gotta be computed.

If I’m solving a math equation, I know that I need to follow the order of operations—I don’t need to rewrite the equation in an entirely new way. It’s more intuitive for me, at least, to wrap my head around the current approach.
