Yes, even better example, thanks! In Haskell you get
which is much better than

Interesting. The pipe operator is more idiomatic in OCaml where this would be
crumb_of_zing x |> glork_of_crumb |> floob_of_glork
versus zing_to_crumb x |> crumb_to_glork |> glork_to_floob

Yeah, fair. Forth especially really commits to that left-to-right order in its general style -- I like it when a language and its culture are conscious about readability in this way.
It is interesting that the "of" style is common in Ocaml where the left-to-right style is common. They seem to clash!
I would like to know what it's like to work in a fully left-to-right language, for example, to define `my_floob`:
let my_crumb |> zing_to_crumb |> crumb_to_glork |> glork_to_floob = my_floob
