Welcome!
but in my short time here I’ve
fallen in love with how readable this language is. One issue that I’ve
seen in a lot of languages struggle with is nested function calls.
Parenthesis when nested inherently create readability issues. I stumbled
upon what I believe is an elegant solution within the elm platform in
their use of the backward pipe operator <|.

Suggested structure:
print() <| some_func() <| another_func("Hello")
My first question is what does this look like when print() and some_func() have
other parameters? In other words, what would this look like?
print('hello', name, some_func('whatsit', another_func('good-bye')), sep='
.-. ')
Currently, I would format that as:
print(
'hello',
name,
some_func(
'whatsit',
another_func(
'good-bye')
),
),
sep=' .-. ',
)
Okay, maybe a few more new-lines than such a short example requires, but that's
the idea.
