+1 on partial with no args !
I have a doubt: using partial conveys the intent, but with automatic
currying one may get confused between "partial application" &
"function call", no?

What do people think about extending the definition of partial in core
to work on just a single argument?
That is, if you call partial with just a function and no arguments, it
just returns the function.
It seems to follow logically from the other airties.
For a case where this is useful, see ht
This is very cool!
Taken together with the following projects, Clojure now has some of
the nicest parts of Haskell/ML, IMHO :)

Ah, my apologies,
Thanks for clarifying, I should have looked more closely at your code
before responding. That is indeed a very nice idea (and an aspect of
Haskell that I sorely miss in Clojure).
I could see myself wanting to use this on a namespace level, e.g. have
all functions defined in a n
very cool implementation .. Something tells me that you didn't leave your
python background behind.. :)

I think your work is a wonderful idea. I've been wanting to do this
myself for some time.
Thanks for actually doing it instead of just thinking about it.
I have some humble thoughts/suggestions after reading your code; I'd
love to hear what you think about these points:
1. I think that auto-curr

Hi Eric,
I do know about partial. But what I am saying is that the extra function,
partial, is not necessary if the function was created with
def-curry-fn... The function automatically returns a curried version
when called with fewer number of arguments than necessary like it
happens in ha
Hi Sunil,
This is already possible using `partial' function in clojure core, which
also works for variable arity functions, e.g.
(map (partial reduce +) [[1 2 3 4] [5 6 7 8]])
