That might be a wise choice.

It depends on what you are used to and your tolerance thresholds.

In a code base I worked on professionally, I came across the following idiom

    f a b `flip` d

which at first used to confuse me to no end. Later I figured out that you are supposed to read it as:

    f a b <place-holder> d

and thus

    \c -> f a b c d

In the same vein that Scala uses an underscore in somewhat implicit anonymous function syntax.

I still wasn't really happy with that usage, but at least I see why someone thought it would make sense.

(Mostly I wasn't so happy because it only works for the penultimate argument. If the syntax had worked out so that

    f a `flip` c d

would mean

    \b -> f a b c d

I would have been more amenable to the idiom. But you need the ugly

   f a `flip` c `flip` d

for that case. And that's clearly worse than the lambda syntax.
