Huh? Almost always the parameter order is "the type of the module first" (except builders bla bla). This is super easy to remember, and this convention also encourages good code organization and module naming.

The only place where pipe order bristles is Enum.reduce, but I'd bet if I counted I'd have wanted it the normal way more often than the backwards way.

I don't have a functional background so I can only empathize that only being allowed to pipe first is not what folks are used to. I am having trouble understanding your argument, however, that includes both "consistent" and "choose your own adventure". I also don't buy that, other than simply being used to it, that piping last to sequences is more "natural". "reduce a into b with c" or "reduce value a into value b using function c" reads perfectly natural to me. I'm happy to hear arguments otherwise.
