Re: Flipped function application

+1 for a flipped function operator. It makes reading a pipeline of operations more natural. "x & foo & bar & baz" means take x, apply foo, then apply bar... it makes the source code read easily without having to push and pop operations from a mental stack or reading the source in an unnatural direction "baz $ bar $ foo x". And when it comes to lenses, I can't imagine not being able to write "foo & bar .~ x & baz .~ y". On Sat, Oct 12, 2013 at 8:23 PM, Erik Hesselink wrote:

I think this phrasing is too loaded given the actual numbers. I've counted in this thread, being generous with the +1s (bikeshedding the name counts as an implicit +1) and I find 11 in favor, 7 against and 6 unknown/don't care.
