Your simple example (`2 |> Math.sqrt`) looks great, but when the code gets more complex, then the advantage of the pipe syntax is less obvious. For example,

    foo(1, bar(2, baz(3)), 3)
becomes something like

    1 (2, (3 |> baz) > bar), 3 |> foo
or

    (3 |> baz) |> (2, % |> bar) |> (1, %, 3 |> foo)
    
That looks like just another way to write a thing in JavaScript, and it is not easier to read. What is the advantage?
