IDEs and linters should not be a crutch methinks because not everyone uses the same IDE or text editor. Either way, it will still be awkward to read.

Better that you either avoid that pattern or at least indent it in such a way that its not so visually confusing. Or yknow use a pipe operator.

People do tend to use the same linter and LSP. That’s why they exist in the first place.
