Functional Composable Operations with Unix-Style Pipes in C++
summary
Prototype implements a C++11 generic pipe operator that composes any T with a Callable, shows a real Kafka init chain using libRdKafka and unique_ptr for RAII, adds std::optional unwrapping overloads for C++17, and uses C++20 Concepts to avoid ranges so std::ranges code and the new operator coexist. It also emulates monadic and_then/transform behavior like the proposed C++23 APIs. Overload-resolution surprises force concept tweaks; the implementation works but incurs added compile-time cost and a global-operator collision risk.
