The Pipes Library: How Plumbing Can Make Your Code More Expressive
summary
Pipes implements a push model for collections in C++ (library on GitHub) that contrasts with ranges’ pull semantics, so a transform runs once per emitted element and avoids the double-evaluation surprise seen with ranges’ transform+filter example; it supports rvalue inputs, zip without tuples, branching to multiple sinks and plugging a pipeline as an STL output iterator (no intermediate container), tested in unit tests (C++14-compatible, operator >>= for composition) and works, with known limits: no end-of-stream signal, no heterogeneous-value storage, and sinks must exist.
