The other reason things work this way in functional languages might be the way your nesting tends to work out. For example, it would be common in Clojure to write something like: (set-result-to (do-this-to (do-that-to (do-the-other-thing-to (map map-function some-input-data))))) If the order of arguments to map was reversed, your map function would be the only one messing up the right-to-left flow of your data. /so not a functional programmer
