Well,
I would not have thought that my suggestion would cause so much discussion. Nice to see that the community is so lively 
In general I agree, that this would not be any big change, nor would it make LiveViews essentially better. What I like is, that you can keep the pipeline flow a little bit better. Yes, I know that |> then(fn socket -> {:no_reply, socket}) does the codewise the same, but when I recently introduced some of our junior devs to our phoenix project, I saw that these helpers at least caused some cluttering in their minds and it did not help them to focus on the relevant parts.
I think my core issue is, that for a beginner it seems like an arbitrary rule at the beginning, that you have to learn without seeing the benefit.
Anyway, thanks for the replies!
