I'm very curious as to why as I find it hard to even fathom how you could think it's less readable to be explicit about the location of the parameter. Still, that doesn't change two facts: 1) I, and many others, find -> and ->> *less* readable because they do not indicate at all where the parameter is. 2) --> is more versatile than either -> and ->>.
