On: Google's new pipe syntax in SQL

[bvrmn]

It's funny how he addresses the new syntax as "from-clause-first". Like a very minor change with a low value.

[Cthulhu_ → bvrmn]

I think that's important, because a lot of concepts are presented as prohibitively complicated; for example, functional programming makes sense in my head, but if you present it as lambda calculus and write it in concise form with new operators, you lost me.
