what do you mean by "arrow operator"?
Probably a reference to Clojure's arrow operator:

Something like a(b(c(d(e(7)))))) in Javascript could be written (-> 7 e d c b a) in Clojure?
Bingo.
Maybe overloadable operators like in C++, where -> usually demotes some kind of deeper access into the object or abstraction? Or, the opposite, and abstracted access.
That is what I thought, but that doesn't make sense for a language without pointers
