The reports of my madness may not be so exaggerated

Sometimes I think my quest to get my functional programming skills up to snuff is turning me into a raving lunatic. I keep writing code that inflicts physical pain when kept to myself. Here's a fresh cut and paste out of my emacs:

  applyAll [] = id
  applyAll fs = foldl1 (.) fs

After writing that, I immediately opened up all of my instant messenger programs in search of an imperative programmer to accost. "Don't you see? Don't you see how beautiful this is?" I would say. They almost never see.
