Why can you write a function both in lambda notation and in the non-lambda notation? Make it so that there is only one way to write a function. That means less stuff to learn! Get rid of all the nastiness with using Transformer monads etc: make it so we can just provide a couple of monads as our environment, and not have to think about the underlying maths.
