Fancy arrows drawn with the PGF 3.0 arrows.meta library

PGF 3.0 provides a new library called arrows.meta. Now you can bend arrows, change arrow tips on the fly, have several arrow tips in a row, and you can use a special syntax for changing the individual appearance. You can scale, color, joing, bend, flex, and more, and now there are a lot of more predefined arrow tips.

This code was written by Qrrbrbirlbel and published on TeX.SE.
