Quite funny to read that. It seems like they have made something like what

And can return an arbitrary number of values. OK, technically a single
tuple of values, but that does complicate t

The idea is already dead, based on the quote from Guido, but this
makes it even more clear that it's inappropriate for Python. As you
said
Expanding on the comments of the OP (to give more information, not
necessarily to support or be against it):
The "$" operator in Haskell is not a composition operator, it's essentially
the same as python's apply builtin (the python2 builtin, removed for python
3), but with an operator syntax; the

If I understand your example correctly, it does no such thing. "A $ B"
appears to mean "apply callable A to object B", at least the way you
portray it below. I don't
Why not a functional syntax, i.e.
compose(f, g, h)
rather than f $ g $ h
Advantage: you can do it today.
Without need to convince Guido to add more line noise to the language.

Rationalle:
Python tends to use functions instead of methods ( e.g. len([1,2,3])
instead of [1,2,3].len() ). Sometimes the expression inside parentheses may
become big and using a lot of parentheses may ten
