It also resembles a waterfall (not very friendly term in our
profession, but fits well in this case) where the result of an earlier
computation is passed on down the stack. It also works very similarly
to the let form (which gives a sort of imperative look to the code and
more powerful way to place the earlier results) as well as...the maybe
monad. The question is when to use each, but guess it's a matter of
taste.
