10 minute presentation discussing my implementation the forward pipe operator in Swift (inspired by Elixir and F#). This operator will help you clean up your Swift code using powerful composable data processing pipelines. Hopefully that's enough buzzwords to boost the virality score bar.

2. Method'Chaining
[1,2,3,4,5].filter(isEven).map({$0 * 3}).reduce(0, combine: +) // 18

3. Method'Chaining
Array(1...5)
.filter(isEven)
.map({$0 * 3})
.reduce(0, combine: +) // 18

4. Func%on!Chaining
reduce(map(filter(1...5, isEven), {$0 * 3}), 0, +) // 18

2 |> increment // 3
5 |> (divide, 10) // 0.5
10 |> (divide, 5) // 2

7. Data$Pipelines
// the result of each step becomes first arg in the next
1...5
|> (filter, isEven) // [2, 4]
|> (map, {$0 * 3}) // [6, 12]
|> (reduce, 0, +) // 18

8. Data$Pipelines
students
// filter to students with last name L*
|> (filter, { $0.lastName.hasPrefix("L") }
// get list of all their first names
|> (map, Student.firstName)
// make all the names uppercase
|> (map, String.uppercaseString)

9. Op#onal<T>+Method+Chaining
let animalNoiseMap = ["cow":"moo", "dog":"woof", "cat":"meow"]
animalNoiseMap["dog"]?.uppercaseString // .Some("WOOF")
animalNoiseMap["fox"]?.uppercaseString // .None

10. Op#onal<T>+Func%on+Chaining
let animalNoiseMap = ["cow":"moo", "dog":"woof", "cat":"meow"]
map(animalNoiseMap["dog"]) { count(filter($0, isVowel)) } // .Some(2)
map(animalNoiseMap["fox"]) { count(filter($0, isVowel)) } // .None

11. Op#onal<T>+Pipeline
animalNoiseMap["dog"] // .Some("woof")
|> (filter, isVowel) // .Some(["o", "o"])
|> count // .Some(2)

12. Op#onal<T>+Pipeline
animalNoiseMap["fox"] // .None
|> (filter, isVowel) // .None
|> count // .None

13. Op#onal<T>+Pipeline
[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
|> (map, increment) // [3, 5, 7, 9, 11]
|> (find, 7) // .Some(2)
|> isEven // .Some(true)

14. Op#onal<T>+Pipeline
[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
|> (map, increment) // [3, 5, 7, 9, 11]
|> (find, 6) // .None
|> isEven // .None

15. Result<T>*Pipeline!
// uses https://github.com/antitypical/Result
func escapeInput(string: String) -> String { ... }
func readFile(fileName: String) -> Result<String> { ... }
func processText(string: String) -> String { ... }
let processedText = inputFileName
|> escapeInput
|> readFile
|> processText
