   If you're writing your own code you can use parenthesis. Most Haskellers use `$` and `.` though which threw me for a loop.

   I had to read this section of LYAH almost 10 times before it clicked

      @clacke @nixy only haskellers and scala users would go through the trouble of defining an operator which exists only to type the closing paren their editor should be inserting automatically for them anyway

         @tekk @clacke @nixy Well memed! But seriously I think it has readability advantages compared to five ending parens.
         
         But then I also think #wisp seems like a neat idea I should play with some day. :-)

         @tekk @clacke @nixy hey, $ has legitimate applications! You just have not yet uncovered the full understanding of the mysteries of Haskell. Wisdom will come in time…
