reorganizing/naming args with partial

2014-10-24 Thread Sam Raker
From what I can tell, `partial` goes 'in order'. As such, you can't pass it 
a fn that takes  1 args and the 2nd...nth args. In Python, at least, you 
can explicitly name positional arguments, e.g. 

def my_func(x, y, z):
return x + y * z

p

p = partial(my_func, 1, 2)

p2 partial(my_func, y=3, z=4)

Is there a similar thing in Clojure? Or is the answer suck it up and use 
anonymous functions, you baby?

Both. There's #(my-func % 3 4), which is actually shorter than 
partial(my_func, y=3, z=4) and means the same thing and is an anonymous 
function. So suck it up. :)
