-------------------------------------------------------------------
I would actually like to keep the outside face the same, meaning we create a
{xarg, args... ->}.curry( x ) every time. Instead I would like to change the
logic inside... but using your logic:
{code:Java}
{xarg, args... ->
if x instanceof Class && y is_not_static_method then
args[0].y(args[1..n])
else
xarg.y(args)
}{code}

> Class.&instanceMethod had better to have same meaning of

> Key: GROOVY-7772
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7772
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: groovy-runtime
> Affects Versions: 2.4.6
> Reporter: UEHARA Junji
> Assignee: Jochen Theodorou
> Priority: Minor
>
> Groovy's operator .& for method is similar functionality to Java8's method
> reference operator ::.
> ||No.||lhs||rhs||meaing of Groovy's .& (Closure) ||meaning of java8's ::
> (FunctionalInterface)||
> |1|instance|instanceMethod| { ..args -> instance.instanceMethod(args) | same
> as groovy |
> |2|Class|staticMethod| { ..args -> Class.staticMethod(args) | same as groovy |
> |3|instance|staticMethod| ERROR groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: | Error
> same as groovy (compile error) |
> |4|Class|instanceMethod|error| Function<RetType,Class,Args..>, where method
> instance method of Class which is declared as ```RetType
> instanceMethod(Args..) {...}```. In other words it is interpreted as a
> function which takes LHS Class as the first parameter which additionally
> inserted to the method.)|
> IMHO, i'd like to propose to change the No 4 pattern semantics of groovy
> same as Java 8 's. Because:
> * You can write:
> {code}
> ["a,b,c"].collect ( String.&toUpperCase )
> {code}
> instaed of
> {code}
> ["a,b,c"].collect { it.toUpperCase() }
> {code}
> * Can have correspond operator to java8's ::. which is understandablea and
> needed for Java programmers.
