# Why not ## Lodash `_.flow(b,c,d)(a)` // left to right `_.compose(d,c,b)(a)` // right to left `_.flowRight(d,c,b)(a)` // right to left `_.backflow(d,c,b)(a)` // right to left

## RamdaJS `_.pipe(b,c,d)(a)` // left to right

# But why are we inventing so many ways of doing forward, backward function application and composition.

Aside: I've never found an application of lodash `_.chain` that couldn't be expressed in a better way.
