#2Nice idea, there is also @babel/plugin-proposal-pipeline-operator which would require much less changes in the code if pipeline operator is introduced in the future. But it requires working babel.

#4Still prefer
pipe([
f,
g,
h,
])(123);

#5Its all a problem of formatting, for me this is simple to read.
const { status } = await
send(
capitalize(greeting)
+ "!"
)
const message = capitalize(greeting) + "!"
const { status } = await send(message)
With complex operations a pipe-method would make more sense.
But i will wait for the native pipeline-operator https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pipeline-operator> instead using now a function.

#6 The following example code is a bit hard to read:
const { status } = await send(capitalize(greeting) + "!")
console.log(status)

#7The following example code is a bit hard to read: const { status } = await send(capitalize(greeting) + "!") console.log(status) I disagree, I find this example code very easy to read because it reads like idiomatic Javascript. Unlike this library.
I agree, I really don't understand this library

#9I had a hard time reading the example until I applied the "normal" JS indentation, that would also likely be applied by Prettier and the likes.
V(greeting, // initial value "hi"
V(capitalize), // custom function call "Hi"
V.concat("!"), // String method `concat` call "Hi!"
V(send), // custom async function call Promise { }
V.status, // automatic promise chaining + getting property Promise { 200 }
V(console.log), // automatic promise chaining + global function call logs 200
)

#10I can see this being useful but boy does it look ugly
