Clojure (and I'm sure other lisps and programming languages) have a nice solution to this, the `->` macro ("threading")

You'd do something like:

  (save (transform (fetch))) ;; calls fetch, then transform, then save

  (-> (fetch)
      (transform)
      (save))

Not that the non-threading version was hard to read, but once the function names start to be a bit longer and involve arguments, the threading version tends to be a lot easier to read.
