I'll pass on the pipe operator, but it's not particularly objectionable.

Agree there's some good ideas. Pattern matching looks like a great idea with the wrong syntax - let's just get a match statement similar to the switch statement - if we can't reuse switch.

String dedent and chained comparisons look nice. Though I think the latter is a breaking change if it were done in js. I'd also be fine with default const for loop variables.

"Export convenience" is going to confuse people. The syntax looks different than named exports and looks closer to the export form of default imports which is begging for trouble.

Using the pipe operator in Elixir is very nice, even more so for building up complex multi operations and such

Exactly. It also massively improves readability by reordering the code to match the order of operations. Also long nested chains of function calls make it so the arguments for each call get spread out, so your eyes have to go back and forth to determine what function receives what.
