its syntax is too much complicated
it will be beneficial for my packages
For me, the most important argument is that the pipeline pattern is a tried and tested pattern, that this RFC builds upon. A couple of examples:
This RFC adds syntax to make using these kinds of pattern much more convenient.
On top of that, there's the argument that multiple modern languages support a pipe operator:
- Hack
- Haskall
- Ruby
- Elixir
- And more
Finally, I've had numerous occasions where a pipe operator would simplify my own code — I have more than a handful real life cases where this would be useful.
I personally don't need it but I guess it could be useful to people.
I wrote down some thoughts on this RFC on my blog. I think it's worth rethinking our current definition of what "an interface" is. Especially since many languages are interface default methods as their way of multi-inheritance.
