If I had a long list of functions, though, I'd use my approach, and would bind the <code>fun</code> list to a variable on a separate line to make it clearer. Also, your approach assumes that the result of one funcall is fed directly into the next, where using <code>foldl</code> allows the result to be manipulated before being passed to the next funcall.

I guess I don’t understand why

f(X) -> baz(bar(fab(foo(X))))

isn’t considered superior to both of these.
