Function Pointer Currying
{{#include ../links.md}}
It is possible to curry a [function pointer] by providing partial (or all) arguments.
Currying is done via the curry
keyword and produces a new [function pointer] which carries
the curried arguments.
When the curried [function pointer] is called, the curried arguments are inserted starting from the left. The actual call arguments should be reduced by the number of curried arguments.
fn mul(x, y) { // function with two parameters
x * y
}
let func = Fn("mul");
func.call(21, 2) == 42; // two arguments are required for 'mul'
let curried = func.curry(21); // currying produces a new function pointer which
// carries 21 as the first argument
let curried = curry(func, 21); // function-call style also works
curried.call(2) == 42; // <- de-sugars to 'func.call(21, 2)'
// only one argument is now required
