Its all a problem of formatting, for me this is simple to read.

  const { status } = await
    send(
      capitalize(greeting)
      + "!"
    )

But i would not concat things in a method call, bad style.

  const message = capitalize(greeting) + "!"
  const { status } = await send(message)

The example from the page is a little bit too simple.

With complex operations a pipe-method would make more sense.

But i will wait for the native pipeline-operator <https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pipeline-operator> instead using now a function.

I think the use of template strings simplifies it, even inline:

const { status } = await send(`${capitalize(greeting)}!`)

console.log(status)

It does reduce the number of discrete operations to make the pipe example look more impressive, though.

But you have to look at the whole string and check if send has a further parameter. With `send(msg)` you see it without taking extra time of reading.

And let the compiler optimize your code, that is the job of a compiler. Write your code for humans.
