  • Method Chaining vs Function Composition

    by Faisal Waris,

    Your message is awaiting moderation. Thank you for participating in the discussion.

    Still confused about how functions were composed in the samples provided in the talk.

    I know that F# has predefined function composition operators '>>' and '<<' and you can also use the pipeline '|>' operator to composed partially applied functions but I did not see the use of any such operators in the examples given.

    Also I believe not all '.' chaining is method chaining. For example, LINQ's use of the '.' is actually function composition.
