This should have never been done in the first place.
Yeah glad they figured this out but largely this kinda stuff does not pass code review for me specifically because of the negligible extra work to make your code infinitely more readable and easier to debug later.
In array languages (APL – the Dyalog variant – not classic APL/2, BQN, J, …) there’s been a trend towards ‘tacit’ aka ‘point-free’ syntax, where many ops are combined/composed to avoid the need for named variables.
Unpopular opinion time: I don’t like it. As this article says, it’s fine for short, simple chains but becomes inscrutable if overused.
