my favorite nonidiomatic haskell thing i’d do was to define g (&.) f = \x -> f (g x) (you need to do some fucking around with the operator to make this work right but i forget the details) so you could write long function compositions in execution order like a shell pipeline
@aescling my initial reaction to this is that it makes it look like haskell was made by someone who went "let's make programming look more like math" instead of "let's make math look more like programming"
@aescling just from having seen One thing lol
@manifold haskell was a language defined by consensus by computer scientists who wanted to package several ideas that were in vogue at the time into a single language
