Re: [Haskell-beginners] general observation about programming

That will work in the special case of lists, but there are all sorts of other things you might want to map across. On Sat, Feb 27, 2016 at 7:24 PM, Rustom Mody wrote:

It is, I agree, not appropriate everywhere, but point-free code can in the right place be much more readable. Maps are a good example. Compare:

map (f . g . h) xs

to

map (\x -> f $ g $ h x) xs

Not quite a fair comparison How about? [ f (g (h x)) | x <- xs ]
