I love the idea but something in my brain starts to itch when I see that pipe operator

What IS that thing? A unix pipe that got confused with a redirect? A weird smiley of a bird wearing sunglasses?
It'll take some getting used to, for me...
It's like other "arrow" digraphs in common programming languages today, such as =>. You can picture it as a triangle pointing to the right.
Many Programming Ligature fonts even often draw it that way. For instance it is shown under F# in the Fira Code README: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode
They considered ditching `|>` or using `|` but unfortunately there's a bunch of syntactic ambiguity.
