yeah but at this point, currying seems to be a loss in ergonomics in most use case we have found in the wild. I love the idea, I love the principle.

But the jury is definitely still out for if the pattern of showing it in syntax and semantics actually is beneficial. And yes, I know nearly all the examples you can come with to show how useful it can be.

But the cost of having it seems to more than compensate the benefits.




I'm not necessarily a proponent of currying; merely wanted to expand on what OP was pointing at.

The reason I like Erlang is because of the BEAM (+ OTP) combined with idiomatic pattern matching, I don't miss currying in neither language.
