Curry is not defined #3796

Closed tbrowder closed 5 months ago

tbrowder commented 3 years ago

The verb "curry" is not defined in the context of programming.

JJ commented 3 years ago

Right. We have whatever-currying, but not what's understood, in functional programming, as currying. Maybe add to the glossary?

tbrowder commented 3 years ago

Yes, that would help. In fact I was going to submit a PR for that but think it would be better coming from someone more familiar with its use in mathematics. I got sidetracked with its common definition in cooking.

I notice Zoffix also created an issue on the whatever-currying discussion.

There's no built in in Raku that does currying, there's no obvious affinity of the notion with anything in Raku, mentioning it is like mentioning COBOL picture clauses outside a COBOL to Raku guide. Why?

There was a recent fix in naming from currying to priming. Closing this ticket.
