In my opinion we should just have '|>' and '<|' from F#. They are much nicer, being mnemonics for direction. And '|>' is just orders of magnitude nicer than 'flip ($)'. But alas, I fear we are stuck with this wart.
Then i think symmetric aliases for '(.)' and 'flip (.)' would also be needed. Still this would not make the language completely symmetric because it is impossible: * 'f x' would still be 'f x', * a left-associative and a right-associative operator symbols cannot have the same precedence, so '|>' and '<|' would need to have different precedence. Maybe just some naming convention is needed for the names of the flips of commongly flipped operators? I am thinking about something silly like '~$', '~.', or '-$', '-.', or maybe some other unary operator symbol can be used sefely as a prefix here... Alexey.
