As a first comment, you can actually replace those lambda expr...
err, anonymous functions, with references to 'real' functions:
http://erlang.se/doc/doc-5.4.8/doc/reference_manual/
expressions.html#6.17
Relevant quote: "The following fun expressions are also allowed: fun
Name/Arity,
fun Module:Name/Arity". So, try e.g.
fun lists:map/2
Does Erlang support currying or is this hacked through the use of
Funs?
Unfortunately Erlang doesn't support currying (a.k.a. partial
application). This isn't a really big drawback since you can
obviously just define your own ad-hoc function to call the target
function, but it is annoying.
