Re:When Does Point-Free Notation Make Code More Readable? by habitue on Friday September 29, 2017 @10:37AM (#15365641)
We use point free notation in JavaScript most often with "fluent" apis like d3 or underscore, where instead of using an explicit compose operator like in haskell, each method in a chain returns the context with a ton of chainable methods defined on it.

The big difference is that Haskell (and other ML-syntax languages) make currying the default so it's much less noisy syntactically to use pointfree style than it is in JavaScript.
