[IHNFIWIWD] The compose function is executed left to right about functional-php HOT 5 CLOSED

Will be addressed with 2.0

Indeed, that was a mistake when implementing it but it’s probably too late to fix that now in a sane way. The only way I would see is adding a function with a different name to do the right thing.

Ah, yeah, that's a tough one. A good solution might be to just be very explicit about that functionality in the documentation. I only noticed it was happening after spending some time trying to debug a function that was using compose, and then looking at the code for compose. I actually had to go back and change all of my other uses of compose.

Is it too harmful to break the current interface and make compose do right-to-left composition which would be the expected behaviour and add a pipe function that does the current left-to-right composition? Ramda (https://github.com/ramda/ramda) does it this way and it seems really sane.

@MarcoWorms I wouldn’t wanna do this for 1.x but I could very well imagine doing this for 2.x.
