Pipes: How Plumbing Can Make Your C++ Code More Expressive
summary
A small C++ library called pipes implements a push model alternative to ranges, with a working GitHub repo and unit tests shown live. It delivers an efficient transform+filter (no double-calls), lets code zip without tuples, accepts rvalue inputs, and receives results directly from STL algorithms via output-iterator compatibility. It supports branching/forking and destination-aware endings like a map-aggregator. Limitations: no easy reverse/split or lookahead, no input caching, and outputs usually must exist before piping.
