This is the reason why so many fluid apis exist... no you are definitely not the only one

Root824835yTrust me, they exist.
Let me introduce you to javascript chaining and Ruby/Rails, specifically ActiveRecord and RSpec.
ActiveRecord's syntax is like LINQ, except pretty.
ActiveRecord example:
Movies.where(musical: true, chickflick: true, drama: false).where('created_at >= ?', 15.years.ago).where('rating >= ?', 3.5).sort(title: :asc)
World::Population.human.alive.female.single.where(age: 18..28).where('iq >= ?', 140).where(profession: [:dev, :qa, :gamer, :scientist, :engineer]).where(likes_musicals: true, personality: [:intj, :intp, :entp]).where.not(sickly: true).order(iq: :desc)
RSpec example:
describe Object do
let(:new_instance) { FactoryBot.build(:object) }
it "changes the count after saving" do
expect { new_instance.save }.to change { Object.count }.from(0).to(1)
end

Take a look at the kotlin infix: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/...
But it has its limitation, you always need VFV, something like VFFVF or VF or FV does not work.. (v=value, f= function)

Am I the only one who wants to be able to write functions in a human readable way, allowing for parameter in-between the words?
Instead of defining:
const enforceStringEndsWithChar(string: string, char: string) => {...}
I want to define it as:
const enforce(str: string)EndsWith(char: string) => {...}
.
.
.
I'll see myself out.
