As for Haskell. For example, with a range of ranges and you

To me, it seems like what you want here conceptually is partial
application – it just happens to be equivalent to currying
because the function has only two parameters.
I personally use partial application all the time, but never
found myself in the need for currying so far. But maybe that's
just because I don't have significant experience in Haskell and
the likes.
