you're totally right that it's often easier to read in the order the functions are being applied. That's why just about every lisp/scheme family language has thread-first and thread-last macros -> and ->> so f(g(h(x))) could be written as:
(-> x
h
g
f)
Janet, clojure and racket and probably others have them built in, emacs lisp has it in dash.el, common lisp has it in cl-arrows and other libraries It's really just about readability preference though not ease of editing, lisp like languages will have paredit/sexp editing shortcuts in your editor, so when you're on (f x), you press one key and it's turned into (<cursor here> (f x)) |
