Will python ever have a chaining operator?
In other languages I use map() and filter() through piping and my code usually looks readable as I can clearly see a data-stream transformation.
As it is today, users cannot do map() |> filter() |> list(), but they need to do list(filter(map())) which makes things unreadable. Lists of comprehension work fine for very simple use-case becoming unreadable very quickly as complexity increases.
However, in python there has always been some resistance, especially 15-20 years ago, but times are evolving. Also, by considering the wide adoption in data-science, it is worth noticing that numbers-crunchers are more familiar with the concept of “data transformation flow” than “function calls”. On the packages dimension , libraries like 🐼s support methods chaining which from an external viewpoint, it’s semantically similar.
Do you know if there is any indication that python core team may allow operator piping (and/or chaining) in the not-too-long-term?
