This is probably a minority opinion, but I have written and read quite a lot of OCaml code over the years, and I've seen surprisingly few effective uses of the composition operator. Somehow, I usually find that code that avoids it is simpler and easier to read.
Hi all,
I know this was asked at least 12 years ago[1], but is there any
consensus or reason for there not being a "compose" function in standard
OCaml, nor an infix operator?
At the moment I tend to "let compose" or "let (<<-) f g x = f (g x)",
but I wish I didn't have to!
Thanks,
Arlen
