With "." you have to read right-to-left to follow data's path. For me that reading order isn't natural, and I imagine it is so for most people which don't have a mathematical background. Combined with >>= / >> you have multiple reading direction in the same expression, as in expression ( c . b . a ) `liftM` a1 >>= a2 >>= a3 reading order 6 5 4 1 2 3 So that could be one reason. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
