Any should have map for readability

[Carl Emmoth]

Warning: Amateur suggestion!

Example

So there's a lot of code examples in this form:

val server = Http.serve(":8080", service)
Await.ready(server)

1. Instancing 
2. Calling method with instance

It might look concrete but the instancing looks unnecessary.

Suggestion

Since we usually read from left to right, we would also like to read the code in chronological order like when using map

Http.serve(":8080", service) map Await.ready

But since Any doesn't have map, a suggested syntax would be

Http.serve(":8080", service) (Await.ready)

Similartiy with Collection

This is similar to collections which have map. Here's examples with map

1 to 3 map println

1 to 3 map (_ + 10) map println

Any without map could be like this then

10 (println)

10 (_ + 10) (println)

Lift your Any into the Identity monad?

Or write you own extension method?

implicit class Chained[T](val t: T) extends AnyVal {

  def $[R](f: T=>R): R = f(t)

}

Http.serve(":8080", service) $ Await.ready $ println

Cool! Another

class Monad[T](val x : T) {

 def >>=[S](f : T => S) : Monad[S] = {

   new Monad(f(x))

 }

 override def toString = String.valueOf(x)

}

object Monad {

 def apply[T](t : T) : Monad[T] = {

   new Monad(t)

 }

}

implicit def anyToMonad[T](x : T): Monad[T] = new Monad[T](x)

This is cool.

(Except that I would not be so optimistic and return total (pure) types from functions like serve or ready. Meaning, a monad makes more sense here, I think.

Thanks,
