Consistency about direction is important when you choose names
and syntax. I think in general that message passing
"obj.method()" should be used when the function is either
mutating the object or is an activity that the object has a sense
of ownership on.
UFCS breaks this distinction, e.g.:
arr.sort() // inline mutating sort
vs.
sort(arr) // functional pure sort
Chaining would be better done using a pipelining syntax:
stringarr -> sort -> reverse -> join!", " -> file.write;
gen_pairs() -> (k,v) => (k,v,v*v) -> takestriplet -> auto result;
