Want to pipe into a Case statement? You can!
pipe into case? I use that fairly frequently…unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re wanting…could be.. its still very early…
str = "Hello"
str |> case do
"Goodbye" -> "see ya!"
"Hello" -> "welcome!"
end

I always find this something |> IO.inspect() more readable than IO.inspect(something) I really don’t see nothing wrong with piping even when there is only one pipe
If you do
something
|> do_something()
|> do_something_else()
|> with_additional_param(param)
then what’s wrong with just
something |> do_something()
I think we should not mistake readability with familiarity. Just my 2 cents.

Piping into case is pretty cool, but after I do it, I realize it’s often better for me to wrap that case statement into a function that I can name so it reveals the intention a little better.
I especially don’t like doing it in the middle of a pipeline. I find myself using case statements more often in Phoenix controllers to handle the happy path and unhappy path.

Yep this! I pipe into case statements probably a lot more excessively than I really should… ^.^;
And I pipe into if and other such things as well… >.>
