Hello friends!
I’d love to discuss the potential for syntax sugar around a popular fp pattern, chainables!
I’ve written up a document here with the details.
I’ve also written a small Babel plugin that implements this. Here’s a codesandbox with it loaded up. Thanks for your time!

Fwiw, generators can already be used as syntactic sugar for monads.
Cheers,
David

I would say "Monad" is a very precise term with lawful implications.I left it out since there is no requirement for the value to actually be a monad (Only that it has a chain and map method, hence 'chainable').
Not sure if it's worth being that precise, though.
"flatMap" is also another option, instead of "chain" (especially since arrays now have flatMap) Fwiw, generators can already be used as syntactic sugar for monads.
Cheers,
David

I believe generators only work for certain monads, as explained here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32192145

I feel JS should first have a concept of what a monad (or functor) is before it adds sugar for it. This just feels too early. I believe generators only work for certain monads, as explained here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32192145
