The first example on Organizing functions | F# for fun and profit
is my opinion a very good example on bad readability
//create a nested helper function
let add n =
fun x -> x + n
// use the helper function
x |> add y |> add z
add is a function that takes two argument and add them, but the code is just so convoluted
so while what i just said its true, in reality add is a function that takes one argument and return another function that takes one argument and then add them together
this is a readability crime against programmer kind
i know that add x n = x + n , is in theory shorthand for the above and that functions in fsharp takes one argument and the return one value
but its actually more than just a shorthand, its an abstraction that make code more readable
i strongly advice against the code above, its bad, dont do it
use the abstraction , use the shorthand
