I also think that adding a pipe operator directly in the language would be interesting. Most functional oriented languages have it, and there is an ecmascript proposal with experimental support in firefox.
As one of the developers of RxPy, I think this would allow all streaming libraries to cohabit together, like AsyncIO did for asynchronous programming in python.
