Hello!
So, well, my first question on this list is admittedly somewhat simple, but I managed to delay it long enough and now I think I should ask about it: Does ($) have any relevance at all except for being a somewhat handier version of parentheses?
Well, it's nice to be able to pass ($) as an argument, a higher order function that does function application, so you can write things like, foldr ($) 6 [(/5),(+3),(*2)] and hopefully more useful things too. -- Mark
