pipe placeholders?

[lost river]

yeah gleam has that!

I think there maybe be some misconception here about the placeholder syntax, it can be any parameter

And you can definitely combine pipes and labels to pipe to whichever param you want to

cool, see what a noob I am!

[lost river]

you could, for instance, set a placeholder to whichever positional argument
you can do that already! with or without labels

in gleam the placeholder is _

thanks!

It’s not limited to pipes either

Can do it with any function call

[unkempt path]

yup, can see that now. it's just I came across the problem from that angle. missed it at first.

Tagging on here, I had trouble figuring out how to reference the "invisible" piped value if I had to reference it more than once which seemed to prevent usage of _. For example:

MyType(a=1, b=2, c=3)
  |> some_func
  |> some_other_func("example", _)
  |> problem_func(_.a, "other arg", _.c) // how is this done?

[lost river]

you write a lambda if you want to do that

i think it would be clearer to just not do it in the pipe at all, personally
