I have not used Haskell so far, but in this case I think I prefer the 'Explicit is better than implicit.' I would probably always forget if it should be f a b or f ( a b ) Not to mention the first line look like text rather than a function call because my mind tends to filter out whitespaces like that when reading. I blame variable width fonts (and the mind being a strange thing).
