Re: [Haskell-cafe] Is 'flip' really necessary?

It seems confusing to alias a function without adding any functionality just to make things slightly easier to read. Instead wouldn't it be better if this idiom were documented on haskell.org? -deech On Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 4:47 PM, Vo Minh Thu wrote:

It took me a fair while (I'm talking on the order of half a minute) to figure out what that meant, but it's pretty cool.

Yeah, really neat.

Maybe a different name would be better? How about (??) or "it"?

I think (??) is far better. Additionally, it doesn't run into problems with ghci's magical `it'.

(__) is quite good :)

Well, I meant `__`
