> My ideal syntax for function pointers is

this is actually very Kotlin, in Kotlin it'd be `val lambda: (Int, Char) -> Int = { myInt, myChar -> return 69 }`

Zig has also come very close:

  const Call2Op = *const fn (a: i8, b: i8) i8;
  fn doOp(fnCall: Call2Op, op1: i8, op2: i8) i8 {
      return fnCall(op1, op2);
  }

> Every language should either have a pipe operator or let you call any function with method syntax

there is a nicety in Zig that may help: `fn1(p1, ...)` is the same as `fn1.p1()`, so `fn2(fn1(p1))` can be unfolded into `p1.fn1().fn2()`
