@RonJeffries @kragen @marick it's like asking what names for variables or functions are good for.

@RonJeffries @kragen @marick Trivial example: sum xs = foldl (+) 0 xs vs. sum = foldl (+) 0

@bitemyapp i don't need a trivial example. i know what it DOES. a function adding 6 isn't really interesting. @kragen @marick

@RonJeffries @bitemyapp @kragen @marick Consider that in OO, all methods are just curried functions with `self` being captured.

@sgrif @RonJeffries @kragen @marick I can't think of any OO languages with curried methods.

@bitemyapp If you mean explicit user facing currying, and not the ideological aspect I'm talking about, Scala has it

@sgrif I'm not sure what ideology has to do with PL. Ideology is normative and usually concerns political science.

@sgrif there's really only one kind of currying: Eschewing multi-arg functions (tupled or otherwise) in favor of nested unary functions.
