Haskell style question:
When do people use regular function application and function composition, and when do they use &, the reverse application operator? The Elixir folks really like their equivalent |> operator for building pipelines.
For me, when the chain of functions is long, I find & clearer. In day 1 of Advent of Code this year, I wound up with two functions, one in each style.

(Note: I tried markdown for the code in the post, but triple-backticks didn’t preserve newlines. 😞)
@bwbeach I’d write it as a composition.
