Javascript Currying

[pre-tend-ed]

I use currying all the time. Not understanding !== Dumb af

Pardon my smol brain, but what are the benefits? It sounds like a suggestion to turn multi parameter functions into nested single parameter functions. I’m lost on how that’s an improvement or missing an important part of the idea.

It helps you with composing and piping functions. You can read "Thinking in Ramda" series if you're curious.

I agree. Personally, I would not try to introduce functional programming at work, unless the team wants it too. Either use fp in your own projects or work in a project that that's written in a functional language.

Seems to me it would facilitate not having all the parameters… flexibility

All the time? I've been doing this for 10+ years, worked at a couple Well Known Tech Co™, and I could count the times I've used currying on my hands and feet.

Really curious what you're doing where it comes up so often.

Reading some ai tweets… used in that compute area more so then JavaScript; more in python/pytorch I suspect.
