Haskell has it's issues, but this really ain't it. $ is idiomatic and used all over the place and is greatly more readable than stacking up brackets. The discoverability is also great because, like most things in Haskell, you can literally just input it into hoogle: https://hoogle.haskell.org/?hoogle=%24 and the first hit is, of course the definition of it. Which includes a full explanation what it does.
