@a The prose is just incredibly beautiful. I wish I could write like this.

“Latin letters do not hold hands. Arabic letters do, and the web, in 2026, looks at them holding hands and stretches the air between the words anyway.”

@eliocamp Hmm not sure what you mean, `|>` works fine with higher-order functions. Here’s some dummy code which makes your pipeline work:

cdo_sub = function (a, b) {
\() a + b
}

cdo_sqr = function (x) {
\() {
r = x()
r * r
}
}

cdo_mean = function (x) {
\() mean(x())
}

cdo_execute = function (x) {
x()
}

file1 = 1 : 5
file2 = 2 : 6

cdo_sub(file1, file2) |>
cdo_sqr() |>
cdo_mean() |>
cdo_execute()

(In real code you’d force() the args first.)
