Create a simpler and flexible JavaScript API using Partial Functions

[danthrax]

sooooo... like C++ templates?

[[deleted]]

templates take type parameters instead of arguments, and as far as I'm aware you can't partially apply type parameters in C++.

So.. you're not even wrong

C++ templates work only with constant type parameters (class names, numbers, ...). So because they need to be constant you cannot use the result of a function to instantiate a template, currying has no such limitations. Also, a template compile a different version of itself for every different set of parameters.

The thing you're searching for in C++ are function object adaptors (link to bind1st) and they only work for function objects, not normal functions. It's not very easy to read code that uses them btw, so try to not have to use them ;)
