I agree. Also, since func <$> "foo" <*> "bar" is the lifted equivalent of func "foo" "bar" I find it unintuitive to read or write the logic in the opposite order. Whether we like it or not, Haskell is fundamentally a right-to-left language. Or, to look at it another way, top-down corresponds to left-to-right, and bottom-up corresponds to right-to-left. Perhaps it depends on whether you're a top-down thinker (like me) or a bottom-up thinker. I much prefer `where` to `let`, for example.
