Matt Might's MC Lexer is one example of a currying based DSL:

For example, to emulate what Lex provides:
// *state* (*regex*) (*action*) ;
<INIT> [_A-Za-z]+ { return(ID) ; }
<INIT> [0-9]+ { return(NUM) ; }
in JavaScript you'd do:
INIT (/[_A-Za-z]+/) (function () { return ID ; }) ;
INIT (/[0-9]+/) (function () { return NUM ; }) ;
or more modernly:
INIT (/[_A-Za-z]+/) (() => ID );
INIT (/[0-9]+/) (() => NUM ) ;
