I find the feature that the construct "let x = f x in expr" assigns fixed point of f to x annoying.

Any alternative? Non-recursive assignments?

f x = let x = x * scale in let x = x + transform in g x

I think it is often it is better to avoid temporary names. I guess this is a simplified example, but I think it is better to write: f x = g (transform + scale * x) Or even use point-free style to avoid fixpoint? f = g . (+transform) . (* scale) -k
