	PlanetMath: currying
		Currying is the technique of emulating multiple-parametered functions with higher-order functions.
		The term currying is derived from the name of Haskell Curry, a 20th century logician.
		This is version 3 of currying, born on 2002-03-29, modified 2004-05-25.

	[Python-Dev] PEP 309, function currying
		Currying is a way of transforming a function so that instead of accepting all its arguments at once it accepts just the first, returning a function which accepts just the second, returning a function which accepts just the third, and so on.
		Then currying is the function transformer C such that - when f is a function of no arguments, C(f) = f(); - when f is a function of at least one argument, C(f) is the 1-argument function taking y1 to C(f[y1]).
		Note that currying a no-argument function yields not a function but a constant; currying a 1-argument function yields the same function; currying any function with at least one argument yields a function that takes exactly one argument.

	Ajax Cookbook - Currying JavaScript Functions
		Currying a function is the act of transforming a function that takes n arguments into a function that takes n - 1 arguments.
		Essentially, currying is the act of binding the first argument of a function to a specific value, creating a new function that takes the remaining arguments.
		While this may seem useless initially, currying is very useful in the context of Ajax callbacks.

	Function Currying in Scheme (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Curried functions are delayed functions expecting the remainder of the arguments to be supplied.
		When the curried function is evaluated with arguments, a complete argument list is created from both the original partial argument list and the new completing argument list (using append), and the original function is evaluated with the new argument list (using apply).
		However, the use of curried functions is not something to which one becomes quickly accustomed, so its initial benefit is difficult to gauge by the casual Scheme user.

	Currying - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In computer science, currying is the technique of transforming a function taking multiple argume OCaml programming language nts into a function that takes a single argument (the first of the arguments to the original function) and returns a new function that takes the remainder of the arguments and returns the result.
		The practical motivation for currying is that very often the functions you get by supplying some but not all of the arguments to a curried function are useful; for example, many languages have a function or operator similar to plus_one.
		When viewed in a set-theoretic light, currying becomes the theorem that the set of functions from to A, and the set (AB)C of functions from C to the set of functions from B to A, are isomorphic.

		In computer science, currying is the technique of transforming a function taking multiple arguments into a function that takes a single argument (the first of the arguments to the original function) and returns a new function that takes the remainder of the arguments and returns the result.
		In theoretical computer science, currying provides a way to study functions with multiple arguments in very simple theoretical models such as the lambda calculus in which functions only take a single argument.

	svendtofte.com - Curried JavaScript functions
		Currying is a useful technique, with which you can partially evaluate functions.
		If you give a curried function, less arguments, then it expects, it will give you back, a function, which has been fed the arguments you gave it, and will accept the remaining ones.
		Which is one of the reasons I choose this language, to showcase the principle of currying.

	The 2006-2011 World Outlook for Tanning, Currying, and Finishing Hides and Skins;
		The latent demand for tanning, currying, and finishing hides and skins; having others process hides and skins on a contract basis; and dyeing or dressing furs is not actual or historic sales.
		It is for this definition of tanning, currying, and finishing hides and skins; having others process hides and skins on a contract basis; and dyeing or dressing furs that the aggregate latent demand estimates are derived.
		Based on the aggregate view of tanning, currying, and finishing hides and skins; having others process hides and skins on a contract basis; and dyeing or dressing furs as defined above, data were then collected for as many similar countries as possible for that same definition, at the same level of the value chain.

	Soccer Dad: Currying favor
		Wayne Curry, former Prince George's County Executive and a number of other notable fl Democrats have thrown their support behind Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele's bid for the senate.
		Curry and the lawmakers said Democratic leaders repeatedly have snubbed the fl community and their county, noting the lack of party support for the Senate campaign of former National Association for the Advancement of Colored People chief Kweisi Mfume, who lost the Democratic primary to Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin.
		It's important to add that Curry's support may really have less to do with the marginalization of African American politicians than it does with the Ehrlich-Steele PG County strategy.

		Currying really helps with stating theorems and writing high order code, and allows you to write code similar to J's tacit definitions.
		I doubt there has been any work on Haskell's currying syntax, though I have a faint memory that Paul Hudak (and others) once wrote a rationale for Haskell, so maybe there is a note on it in there.
		Haskell's syntax for currying, I would guess, was adopted from Curry and Schoenfinkel's syntax for combinatory logic, in which there are no variables as such.

	currying : Java Glossary
		Currying is the incomplete application of arguments to a function.
		To curry a function, one needs only to leave off one or more of the rightmost arguments.
		The inclusion of parentheses is important because it distinguishes the application of one argument to a curried function from the application of two arguments to a non-curried function.

	Currying flavour - Epicure - theage.com.au
		It's a claim bound to start a heated (pun intended) argument because the word "curry" isn't really used in India, or not in the same sense as in the West.
		In India, the ingredients of curry vary according to the cook, region and custom, but your standard spice mixture would include cumin, turmeric, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, cloves and pepper.
		A good tip I've learnt is if you're cooking for a group, just split the curry in two, keeping one half mild and the other spicy.

	Scraps from a Messy Desk : Weblog
		There've always been functors that allowed you to bind constant arguments of an existing functor, and the result of the binding are new functors that use the bound values and accept the remaining arguments.
		I was particularly struck by their example late in the article pertaining to using closures and currying to define business rules.
		If anything, currying is the limited form, since (as it appears from the uses that I've observed) you always curry a function by giving the leading subset of the arguments, where STL binding allows you to bind any of the arguments at any time.

		A core feature of a purely functional language is that all "variables" are immutable/final, that state is stored on the stack and can be managed via higher order functions and currying.
		Currying is the realisation of function parameters independently of function execution.
		This sounds very like the OO abstraction of properties and instance methods to me. Many of the benefits of FP listed in the article (improved robustness, unit testing, concurrency) flow from the immutable nature of variables (or symbols) in pure FP languages.
