- whateveracct 3y agoYou can already never use $ and use <| instead. Nothing is making you use $
- munchler 3y agoThis is what F# uses (as well as |>, >>, and <<), and I like it a lot. It's consistent and intuitive pattern. Every time I read Haskell, it takes extra effort to read . and $ instead.
- 59nadir 3y agoI do think that it would be useful for the community at large to move onto `&` more (as that is what `|>` actually is), together with `>>>` for forward function composition. Certainly I think it flows better with the rest of the language, which is predominantly read left-to-right and downwards.
- mrkeen 3y agoMy biggest syntax gripe since starting out with Haskell is needing to introduce '$' at some point during a chain of '.': mySet toList mySet reverse . toList mySet reverse . toList $ mySet The first three look pleasing to the eye, but the fourth is ugly. I want to write the third one, not the fourth.
