This makes sense. But would you say that there could be easier shorthand descriptors to supplement the terms? Or perhaps terms that are used to describe the utility of currying, but don't actually replace the specific (and useful) term

Good thoughts. I'm interested to see if there are other opinions.

I agree, I've revisited my position. Argument deferral and partial application (my term: argument presetting) is something that currying can achieve, but it's not what currying is.

Good point. It's a bit of a wonder why so many people think of them as equivalent (perhaps they thought currying was a convenient shorthand for partial application). I'm comfortable with a simple campaign to clarify the difference

Your path will be your own, but here's what has helped me: Try Meteor (meteor.com). That way you start from a complete development environment, and you can focus on actually using JavaScript, as well as feel good about being productiv

Again, your description refers to "partial application", which is different from currying. I think that many people are comfortable with "currying" only because they think it's the same as partial application. The f

From the perspective of a non-functional language, it is argument deferral because you're composing your sequence of functions first, which can then be used by later adding inputs for evaluation. Were you thinking of partial applicatio

Thanks for this clarification. The fact that these are widely confounded is evidence that many people are comfortable with the term "currying" only because they think it's the same as "partial application", so they

As a related extension, though I don't think "partial application" is a bad term, I can also think of it as "presetting arguments", so there you go, my last submission is to call this "presetting".

See my longer comment. I'm suggesting "sequencing" and the opposite, "bundling".

Thanks everyone for the comments. It is interesting to see how widely "currying" is conflated with "partial application". I have to say, I still find the name to be a stumbling block. Perhaps this discussion can help to

Can we stop calling it currying?

I read it about a month ago, but these are thoughts that have been ruminating in my head for the past few weeks. I have struggled to explain the benefits of Meteor to others, they always try to compare it to React, Angular, Knockout, Node,

You can weigh the trade-off between needing to configure your environment with what Meteor gives you. I would say Meteor has a value proposition that's definitely worth looking at. The list of things it helps you with is more than most

I don't understand this comparison. Meteor makes things simpler and removes a lot of low-level complexity. It makes software development simpler. By "some people want Windows", it sounds like you're suggesting that there

Been using Meteor for 4 months, and I'm an junior ops guy turned developer. So if I say something that sounds like I don't know what I'm talking about, it's probably because I don't, so take it easy. Having said tha
