F# pipe operator in Scala

pipe.scala

package object pipe {
  implicit class Pipe[T](t: T) {
    def |>[S](f: T => S): S = f(t)
  }

  def filter[T](f: T => Boolean): List[T] => List[T] = _.filter(f)
  def map[A, B](f: A => B): List[A] => List[B] = _.map(f)

  // Type inference indeed does play along quite well:
  val x: Option[Int] = List(1, 2, 3) |>
    filter(_ % 2 == 0) |> map(_ + 1) |> (_.head) |> (_ + 1) |>
    Some.apply
