Partial application is a common concept in functional/applicative programming languages, which facilitates to get a closure over another function where some of the parameters are already applied, e.g. something like (pseudocode): incr = partial(plus, 1); print incr(2); // 3 print incr(100); // 101 -- Christoph M.
