You do realize this was in my original comment, right?

> It's certainly not as clean as F# but neither is it as bad as the original example if there's a lot of functions

The fact is the language just works against you in this area if you have to jump through hoops to approximate a feature other languages just have. And I don't even mean extra syntax like F#'s pipe operators (although I do love them). Just swapping the arguments so you could chain the calls would look a lot better, if a little LISPy. It really is that bad.
