I disagree. I think a common antipattern is piping only one thing.
This is good and readable:
nuclear_missile
|> open_hatch()
|> open_fuel_lines()
|> fire_thrusters(:all)
|> configure_gps(%Coordinates{...})
This is unnecessary:
word_count =
words
|> Enum.count()
This is better:
word_count = Enum.count(words)
Pipes read like a list of bullet points. We can easily deal with up to a dozen bullet points, but a single bullet point is bad grammar style.
