My issue is for things like select you would want to take you path first then your data last, this let's you build functions like

const selectFoo= select(['foo']);

selectFoo({foo:'bar'})

But also then allows these functions to be used in pipes

const upperFoo = pipe( selectFoo, toUpper )

This is how the ramda library does it[0]
