Data feeds

A feed lets you write a chain of list operations in the order they happen, like a pipeline. Instead of nesting map inside grep inside sort, you send data from one stage to the next with the feed operator ==>.

Feeds read naturally from left to right and make multi-step transformations easy to follow. This section shows the feed operator and how to chain several stages together.
