I suspect this was written with an LLM and the author didn't actually verify that the examples in the README worked.

I was playing with it, and you can do this, which looks a little better.

    const greeting = pipe('hello');
    greeting | upper | ex('!!!');
    await greeting.run(); // → "HELLO!!!"

Since it uses the "Symbol.toPrimitive" method, you can use any operator (not just "bitwise OR" (|)).

    const greeting = pipe('hello');
    greeting / upper * ex('!!!');
    await greeting.run(); // → "HELLO!!!"

This seems like the equivalent of a university designing an ICE car...

What does anyone get out of this when we have open weight models already ?

Are they going to do very innovative AI research that companies wouldn't dare try/fund? Seems unlikely ..

Is it a moonshot huge project that no single company could fund..? Not that either

If it's just a little fun to train the next generation of LLM researchers.. Then you might as well just make a small scale toy instead of using up a super computer center
