This proposal is to investigate notational support for promise pipelining. The concrete syntax we’re starting with is the “~.”, chosen by analogy with the optional chaining operator “?.”. Both can be thought of as “_adjective_ dot”, i.e., like dot but different somehow. For ~. The difference is that the operation is performed eventually and possibly remotely.
