Interesting. Our model came from large 'let' statements in Clojure, which I think is similar (I'm not too familiar with Haskell). The advantage over the let statement is that now you can manipulate the composition, run only part of it, wrap the value functions to monitor them, and so on. I think the latter use-case is actually very closely related to the Haskell example, since it lets us do the same kinds of things you would do with a monad (see graph_examples_test for an example with 'resources') . But here the wrapping is a higher-order function, rather than a monad that has to be specified up front.
