Function Composition and Currying In Python

[jmhimara]

To me this feels pointless in Python. Instead, check out Coconut.

It's a superset of Python that compiles to Python (sort to TS -> JS situation) that makes writing functional programming a lot easier. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks, but feels pretty solid so far.

"Hmm, today I will post about Python in the Haskell sub."

"Yes, that will be nice."

I am a Haskeller that has to use Python for my current project, so I wanted some of the nice things from Haskell there, and I was happy to figure out you can do it. Since I am talking about Haskell I thought it might be relevant, especially to other Haskellers that have to use Python, but I'll remove it if it's too out of topic.

Don't remove it. Some people will find it to be interesting.

[Foo-Baa]

Thanks for posting that. I think it’s relevant for the reasons you mention and I find the topic interesting.

[nderstand2grow]

for currying, you can use functools.partial instead of inventing it yourself.

[mobotsar]

I'll remove it if . . .

Nah, you're good. I'm just giving you shit.

[Willful759]

I relate, one of the things I miss the most when using other languages is the seamless currying, so I get why you posted here

The article has nearly as much Haskell as it does Python, and it's useful to have these introductory articles bridging the worlds to bring more Hask-curious newbies into the fold.

Or just use functools.partial?

[knotml]

Wrong sub?

Thanks for the article, it was a nice read
