This is just the new (new) syntax that conduit
uses to merge. This was recently written by the author of blog-post . To quote the post, he suggested (and eventually did it) on
Replace the operators $=
, =$
and =$=
- all the synonyms of each other are different with the operator .|
. This takes intuition from the Unix shell, where a pipe operator denotes piping data from one process to another. The analogy is really good for conduit, so why not take it? (We call all these operators "merging.")
Aside, if you ever need to look for operators, Hayoo and Hoogle are the places to go. There is also a Stackage Hoogle (thanks @duplode) which allows you to search for operators for specific resolvers (which is especially useful here since this is a recent change).
