Yeah, I'm quite willing to admit that point-free style seems to often be more harmful than helpful. The comments on r/haskell also pointed out ($) as an operator of possible over-use, which I think makes sense. I just don't want to abuse parentheses, since, coming from a Lisp background, that probably wouldn't be too difficult. :P
- cakoose 12y agoUgh, that didn't go as planned. 1. Sorry to everyone about the "his". Like most people guessed, I explicitly tried not to use gender, but I slipped up. 2. I didn't mean to imply you were bad at programming. The only goal of my comment was "if you're thinking about learning Haskell, don't be scared off by point-free style". I thought that providing more background would help people understand the temptation, but I should have divorced it more from your decision to use point-free style. (What's funny is that these were things I was aware of and tried to handle well, but still managed to screw up.)
