i was bit enough times when learning why $ and runST don't like each
other that I've grown averse of $. I also like thinking of building a
composite function instead of sequencing applications--this has helped
me see patterns in other places like writing monad transformer
instances and other stuff, so maybe it's a good thing.
I don't use rank-2 types that often and when I do I'm aware of the
restriction on ($) and similar hofs. I tend to use ($) only when the
right-hand side gets very messy; a multiple-line do or similar. For
example:
blah = fromMaybe $ do
x <- blah1
y <- blah2
guard (x == f y)
g x
The closing parenthesis would make things a little messy, so ($) is nice.
