Hello,
what is so great about "currying"?
What are its uses, apart from letting one define functions with less
parentheses?
Letting one apply them with less extra characters:
add x y = x + y
map (add 2) [1..5]
instead of
add (x,y) = x + y
let add2 y = add(2,y) in map add2 [1..5] end
(The last might not technically be partial application, but it serves
the same purpose without using currying.)
I believe it makes code shorter and more readable, but I do not believe
it gives more power.
