others on the list have said previously and is now very clear to me,
pipes provide a very distinct visual cue "this is a block lambda, expect
X to happen here" where the {(args) expr } gets lost; these visual cues
are important when you're reading and writing "real world" programs in
JavaScript.
yes, i had the same impression [thx to those who supplied code examples].
one problem i came across in this domain is that a block lambda with no
arguments is visually identical to a boolean or ['||']. context, i
believe, will clarify this; but from a purely visual perspective, two
adjacent pipe characters are almost archetypal for the boolean or
operator [if i can speak about archetypes in computer programming].
