This makes me wonder whether the usual order for function application is an artifact of the S-V-O sentence structure in western European languages. Maybe if Euler had been raised in a language with a S-O-V sentence structure, we would write (x)f instead.
Plus, reverse function application/composition works better with our tendency to write the domain of the function before its range. Given f : A -> B and g : B -> C, the composite function is written as g o f which is mildly annoying.
