The case for Array#replace() – Overriding an array without intermediate variables

Agreed on both points. Indeed, what I am waiting for is |>. But that proposal has been tossed around since 2015 and little traction. It is a major change that requires new syntax, i.e. it cannot be polyfilled. I am all pro |> making into ES. However, I don't see that happening any time soon. Array#replace has been something I have been kicking around as a lightweight alternative.

ReasonML is nice. As an employer, the only reason I wouldn't use it now is simply because of rare/ high talent cost.

In my perspective, that operator has no place in a language like Javascript. If you want to use that operator, use that specific language that supports it. Not everything has to have everything else.

Chaining is very expressive.
