I’m excited for pipelines but I think the simple pipeline feels much more natural than the “smart” one and allows for destructuring props. Also, am I the only one that feels like the way await is handled in pipelines is backwards? Why not just add await before the function call like a normal function call?

I guess it's because of potential ambiguity, it's discussed here: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pipeline-operator/issues/14...

Thanks for linking. It doesn’t look like that discussion includes the “F#” arrow function style discussed in the babel release. I believe using this style would get rid of the ambiguity they were discussing since it could be handled in the same way as a async function outside of pipelines. I really like the consistency of that approach.
