It might be fairly useless in D but it's definitely not useless in
general. It' a different design pattern and functional languages make
great use of it. OTOH, D substitutes it with other design patterns like
UFCS and template arguments, e.g. arr.sort!"a > b".
Phobos even has a function which mimics currying via
std.functional.partial:

I forgot the distinction between currying and partial application. Can
we also define currying in current D? -- Andrei
