RE: [Haskell-cafe] Function application like a Unix pipe

I want to say, that the order of symbols for ($), (.) and function application is consistent. This is a fine thing. I think that shall not be distroyed by giving ($) and (.) reversed argument order.

I see. I like the argument order also, since it so nicely reflects mathematical notation. But I do think there's a place for (flip ($)) and (flip (.)). The problem is that the assignment of fixities is much more subtle and requires a consideration of what should be considered "proper style".
