Re:When Does Point-Free Notation Make Code More Readable? by KirinDave on Friday September 29, 2017 @11:53AM (#15366367)
You're actually using the wrong words here too. When you take a function and map it to this style, that's called "η-conversion" (pronounced "eta" or "eee-ta").

"Point free style" is the name for the results of writing code where you do not introduce many new variables. You lean on function composition, currying, and often times this style benefits from partial application (famously with (.) and (.).(.) and others, but in general even with folds and traversals).

It's not really a problem to introduce a description for the style?
