"agglutinative" That is one crazy word. On Wed, Aug 22, 2012 at 10:09 AM, Brandon Allbery wrote:

Having more than one $, like (f1 $ f2 $ fn $ arg), is frowned upon. Care to explain why this is considered bad? I don't see anything wrong with this.

Experientially, we see it a lot in #xmonad from beginners combining stuff together with a certain amont of cargo-culting (being beginners and usually quite unfamiliar with Haskell).

I've been moving toward using ($) to separate logical "phrases" and (.) within the phrases, to make it easier to see which things go with which. Since layoutHook is rather agglutinative, this helps a lot.
