Most commonly used [[Infix Operators]] have flipped variants, e.g. - [[Functions#Composition|function composition]] has `g <<< f` or `f >>> g` - function application has `f $ a` or `a # f` - [[Functor|map]] has `f <$> a` or `a <#> f` - [[Bind|bind]] has `f =<< m` or `m >>= f` In general, right-to-left operators tend to be easier to refactor into & out of because they closely mirror the expressions they replace: ```haskell map (add 1) maybeNum -- into add 1 <$> maybeNum foo (bar a) -- into foo <<< bar ``` Left-to-right, on the other hand, can read better to humans and plays better with pipelines containing both [[Bind|bind `>>=`]] and [[Functor|map `<#>`]]. Consider an expression piping `Maybe String` to `split :: String -> Array String` then `Data.Array.NonEmpty.fromArray :: Array a -> Maybe (NonEmptyArray a)`, then `toLower` each element: ```haskell String.toLower <$> ( Array.NonEmpty.fromArray =<< String.split "." <$> mStr ) ``` We need to wrap the right hand of the last `map` because the precedence of `=<<` is `1` (the lowest) and the precedence of `<$>` is `4`. Written RTL, though, gives: ```haskell mStr <#> String.split "." >>= Array.NonEmpty.fromArray <#> String.toLower ``` This works because `<#>`'s [[Precedence|precedence]] (1) is the same as `>>=`. The lower precedence on flipped map means you'll often need more parentheses wrapping its arguments `(..) <#> (..) >>= (..)` as opposed to entire expressions `.. <$> (.. =<< ..)`. Personally, I try to stick to RTL except for expressions including bind.
