#php hot take: I don’t like the pipe operator. It looks great in carefully curated code sample, but in almost every actual production use case I find it much harder to read than the alternatives.

@michael@mstdn.thms.uk Im the opposite. I rarely have production use cases that it would apply too (nested function calls primarily). But those few scenarios I’ve been sorely desperate for a pipe operator to make the code clearer lol
