You can do
to capture stuff from the local environment.Edit: And you can pass by reference:
Never done it in practice, though, not sure if there are any footguns besides the obvious hazards in remote mutation. | ||

idk if it counts as an obvious hazard, but being able to modify the original input by reference within a chain of piped functions definitely makes it a lot harder to reason about what that sequence might be doing. Particularly since we assume that arrays are passed by reference anyway unless the function you're calling is making a shallow copy of their elements. My feeling is that this makes the code less legible. I'd rather write 5 lines of code that mutate an object or return a copy than do a pipe this way. I'm sort of not excited to start running into examples of this in the wild. |
