(I did Moniel, which is bit similar, but the use case was somewhere else. I always applaud such tools. Awesome work!)

For my mind 1 -> 2 -> f is f(2(1)). But I am all for pipeline operators. One of my lang Moniel had only right arrow. :)

Single letter variables with PascalCased function names are your best option. On top of that, you can do this weird trick I used in Moniel — resolve acronyms to full names. For example, ArcSin ArcS ASin AS are all equivalent. This is great for terse notation you are aiming for.

I once did a programming language where acronyms were resolved to the full name. For example, you could use ReLU, RLU, RectLinUnit to instantiate a Rectified Linear Unit activation function. This applied to custom functions as well. Link for the curious: Moniel

This looks like my idealized functional language [0], but practical.

Holy shit, when I read "text-based visual programming" I imagined something like this, but I didn't expect this madness at all. This is beyond awesome! 🤯

On another note, APL can express rather complex program flow with trains and forks with 1D notation. My litttle experiment with data flow Moniel is extremely verbose in contrast to APL, but crazy simple to understand, read and write. I would like to land somewhere in between these two extremes.
