I don't think there exists an operator ?, such that h . g . f $ x is equivalent to x ? f ? g ? h. But you can simply define an inverse function application like the following and have a close enough alternative, ($$) :: a -> (a -> b) -> b ($$) = flip ($) infixl 5 $$ Now the following two expression are identical, I suppose: h . g . f $ x x $$ f . g . h Cheers, Ozgur
