Assume mainstream adoption as used by around 7% of all github projects

Personally, I’d like to see Nim get that growth.

        I find Universal Function Call Syntax a much nicer solution than pipes, although I don’t think it’s quite as broad.

        For example, taking the example from elixir’s home page:

        "Elixir" |> String.graphemes() |> Enum.frequencies()

        would be

        "Elixir".graphemes.frequences

        in something like D

          I personally find that syntax a bit confusing because it looks like it’s traversing members of structs/records/objects. It also looks like the composition operator in Haskell but is read in opposite order.

          I’m sure it’s perfectly fine when actually working in D but it’s not as obvious as pipes imo.

      Elixir is such a beautifully designed language, my favorite language BY FAR.

      (I want an Elixir job too 🥹 )
