1 is actually an example of partial application of functions more than it is currying. Haskell's currying makes partial application far more natural though. In Clojure you can use the (partial ...) macro to do this:
user=> (def f (partial + 1)) user=> (f 1) 2 2 is done using the (fn ...) special form. It should be noted that (defn ...) to define named functions is actually just a macro that translates basically to (def name (fn ...)) user=> (def f2 (fn [x] (* x 2))) user=> (f2 2) 4 3 is done with the (comp ...) macro: user=> ((comp f2 f) 3) 8 Hope this helped!
