result(..) to result because result is not a function but a value

Yes, I promise I've read the Contributions Guidelines (please feel free to remove this line -- if you leave this line here, I'm going to assume you didn't actually read it).

In a composition, each intermediate result is in fact a new function.

[rsgilbert]

@getify I don't think so for this case.

// or the ES6 => form
var compose = (...fns) =>
    result =>
        [...fns].reverse().reduce(
            (result,fn) =>
                fn( result )
            , result
        );

The function that created result has already completed and its this result we are bubbling up through successive functions.

[getify]

Eh, ok. I don't think it matters much.
