I like the idea of Function.prototype.curry. It goes hand-in-hand
with Enumerable and is useful for stuff like argument rearranging.
I feel like Function.prototype.rcurry is an edge case, but I might be
in the minority there.
While we're on the subject, I proposed Function.prototype.defer in
Campfire last week, so that instead of...
window.setTimeout(Foo.bar.bind(Foo, "baz", "thud"), 1000);
...you can do...
Foo.bar.defer(1000, "baz", "thud");
Feels more OOP. Plus it'd correct scope automatically.
Anyone else have opinions on any of these?
Cheers,
Andrew
