Need Help??

You're going to have to try harder if you want Haskell to outgolf Perl 6 here. The following all work in Pugs and are shorter than your Haskell version.

    sub reverseWords ($_) {~reverse .comb}
    sub reverseWords {~reverse comb @_}
    my&reverseWords:={~.comb.reverse}

The first two could even be construed as readable.

If we're really concerned about golfing to the fewest strokes, you should check out the UCBLogo solution in my post down a few in the discussion. In UCBLogo, the number of (key)strokes needed is zero.

print substr("Just another Perl hacker", 0, -2);
