Description
LiveScript (a descendant of CoffeeScript that also supports features like pipes and spread operators) supports operators as functions, with partial application.
This allows for Polish-like notation:
(in [1 to 3]) 2 # true
It also combines well with pipes:
111 |> (+) 222 # 333
I'd love to see this in Yuescript.
