Here's the wiki page: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/CompositionAsDot Personally I think function composition is what Haskell is all about and it is absolutely essential that the syntax for it be lightweight. If we think using . as qualification as well as composition is confusing, I'm much more inclined to say using it as qualification was a mistake. The comment on the wiki page about $ being more common in reality is not even close to true for my own code, and I don't think I'm unusual in that regard. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
