Sure, you're right, everything flowing in the same direction is usually nicer, and in central Europe, that order is from the left to the right. What a shame that the Haskell gods chose to give the arguments to (.) and ($) the wrong order!
But then application is in the wrong order, too. Do you really want to write (x f) for f applied to x?
No, doesn't follow. Unix pipes also read from left to right, even though programs receive their arguments to the right of the program namen, and that feels totally natural. -Udo
