Hello Hannes,
This looks more or less how Java code will end up looking if you try to use
functions all over the place.
I think in your example you're overdoing the number of wrapped functions a
bit, though there may be cases when this is needed I guess.
Since you're now able to use MethodHandles in Java8 one can simply write
props as normal method, and lift it into a function once you need it like
that:
public static Props props2(Supplier<Props> needs) {
return Props.create(ActorA.class, () -> new ActorA(needs));
}
Function<Supplier<Props>, Props> mkProps = ActorA::props2;
So that's one tip I can add to the discussion.
Fun fact, I've implemented a little sample library which allows you to do
currying/partial application with Java 8,
though sadly you loose type safety there (have not figured it out
completely and didn't spend much time on it):
