As a programmer though, I find being able to scan the left-most columns for return statements quite useful. Having to now also scan the right-most when pipes are involved (which could even mean off the edge of the screen) ... not ideal. I get I could just ... not do that ... but since this seems to be about cognitive load, I think this would actually add additional cognitive load instead of removing it. Often, you need to find where the function returns; more often than you need to read actual pipes. — Rob
