Pipe First vs. Pipe Last keeps coming up a lot. This is an intermediate question once you're in deep so it's not necessarily geared towards newbies but I'd like some sort of resolve of this 😆
What is Pipe to begin with ?

In fact this useful pipe is also available in windows shell: cmd.exe and powershell.
Bash and al. use standard stream to pass data. In Reason like almost all programming language we can pass arguments.
Pipe First vs. Pipe Last

Documenting this should live on Melange (and might point from ReasonReact)
