/* | |
* The premise of this is simple; it allows you to chain subroutines without using a block | |
* The idea comes from Haskell's Monads, where by language design you can't normally | |
* predict the order of statement execution due to the language being lazy, | |
* so instead an operator was added that allowed you to call statements sequencially | |
* | |
* Rather than writing something like this: | |
* def printStuff(): Unit = { | |
* println("blah") | |
* println("bloo") | |
* } | |
* | |
* You can write | |
* def printStuff(): Unit = println("blah") then println("bloo") | |
* or | |
* val x = y.init() then y.getName() // thanks to Lectori Salutem for this idea | |
* | |
* This saves an otherwise unnecessary code block, for an amount of code this small. | |
