One thing I like about the syntax of typical OO languages, and “pipelined” languages like Elixir, is the concept of “take this, do this with it, then do that with it, then do the other thing with it”. That concept really helped me pick up Elixir pretty quickly after realizing that |> was very much like . just without the implicit matching on whatever kind of thing (Ruby object, Elixir data) you had at that time.
