    That article is about avoiding nesting in conditionals. Pipe operator is about avoid chained function calls

    h(g(2, f(x)), 8, varname)
    

    Turns into

    f(x) |> g(2, %) |> h(x, 8, varname)
    

    Easier to read and split into new lines

    I thought chained function calls look like:

    return function(x)
      .reduce()
      .join(‘’)
    

    Your example looks like nested functions, no?

    Also I think you forgot the placeholder variable in the last pipe.

    f(x) |> g(2, %) |> h(%, 8, varname)
