-> applies the functions immediately whereas comp returns a new function 
that is the composition of its arguments. 

-> works with functions of any arity; comp only with unary functions.

As pointed out above, -> merely combines the unevaluated forms it is given, 
and only if they happen to be function application forms will the result be 
similar to function composition.
