In Haskell, >>= goes the other way.

A closer parallel for right-to-left function composition would be (>>>) from Control.Category rather than monadic bind (>>=):

(f >>> g >>> h) x == h (g (f x))

However, this is not quite the same as the Julia code, which was using flipped function application (Haskell: Data.Function.&), not composition:

f x & g & h == h (g (f x))

The Julia |> operator matches the syntax for flipped function application in F#.
