Re: [Haskell-cafe] Syntax proposal for "reverse apply"/"pipeline apply" (flip ($))

* (|) is already stolen for syntax, so the pairing, while a powerful mnemonic, can't be used at all here. * (#) collides with the use of (#) in MagicHash, so you get uncomfortable cases where you need to throw in a space. * (&) can be read off as "and then". (#) has no such obvious reading and is just more line noise someone has to learn. On Thu, Apr 17, 2014 at 4:02 PM, Alexey Muranov wrote:

Consensus was achieved to add it as an infixl 1 & operator to Data.Function, but not to Prelude,so we just need to put in the patch and you'll see it in GHC 7.10.

Why '&' and not '#', for example? I have an empression that '&' often comes in pair with '|' for Boolean operations.
