It's common to write the thrush combinator as a lisp macro. Clojure ships ->, ->>, as->, some->, some->>, cond->, and cond->> out of the box. You can find similar macros for CL[0], Racket[1], and a scheme SRFI[2]. Writing them is a fun exercise in your lisp of choice if you don't have a library available.
