Haskell composition (.) vs F#'s pipe forward operator (|>)

Question

In F#, use of the the pipe-forward operator, |>, is pretty common. However, in Haskell I\'ve only ever seen function composition, (.), being us

Answer 1

This is my first day to try Haskell (after Rust and F#), and I was able to define F#'s |> operator:

(|>) :: a -> (a -> b) -> b
(|>) x f = f x
infixl 0 |>

and it seems to work:

factorial x =
  case x of
    1 -> 1
    _ -> x * factorial (x-1)

main =     
    5 |> factorial |> print

I bet a Haskell expert can give you an even better solution.
