From: transfire@... Date: 2006-05-19T23:51:33+09:00 Subject: Re: Partial functions? Taked about this with Peter Vanbroekhoven some time ago (has it been a year already?) We thought an underscore notation would be nice. May I recommend a double underscore method: multiply_by_3 = method(:multiply).curry(__, 3) Or course it would be nicer if one could just do: multiply_by_3 = multiply(__, 3) But obviously that means changing Ruby itself a bit.
