The idea looks elegant!

The only thing so far which feels not fully fitting is that dot and pipe are often semantically equivalent - applying function to the output of the previous one. And yet you still need to pick the right one.

E.g. Clojure (which is too hosted over OOP language) treats dot as an indicator that it's a method, but invocation/application follows the same syntax as any fn:

(.method (function arg))

Meanwhile in Rye:

"12 8 12 16 8 6" .load .unique .sum

when unique and sum are from underlying Golang, but if I made them myself it suddenly has to be:

12 8 12 16 8 6" .load | unique | sum
