Hey all, I like the pipelining syntax, but I often encounter the problem that one has to write code like this: rand(10) |> x -> filter(<=(0.5), x) I see that map, filter, accumulate, findfirst etc. all take a minimum of two arguments. If I define Base.filter(f::Function) = a -> filter(f,a) the a…

Because that already has a meaning, so changing that would be breaking: julia> foo() = println("hello") foo (generic function with 1 method) julia> map(foo) hello If you’re wondering how you can reach that, you can splat an empty container: julia> map(foo, []...) hello

But why not add the simple behaviour case to the standard library?
