Functional Pipeline Composition with Variadic Dynamic Dispatch
Functional composition enables pure, modular data transformations without relying on intermediate variable assignments. The compose utility operates from right to left, matching standard mathematical function nesting (f(g(x))). Runtime type validation guarantees that non-callable elements fail fast before processing streams of data.

Breakdown
1
const compose = (...fns) => (initialValue) =>
Accepts a variable number of functions and returns a curried execution closure.
2
fns.reduceRight((acc, fn) => {
Iterates backwards over the function array to execute transformations right-to-left.
3
if (typeof fn !== 'function') throw new TypeError('Pipeline element must be a function');
Enforces strict type safety to prevent runtime evaluation errors inside the pipeline.
