I'm curious why something like (partial *) doesn't work. reading the docstring,
user> (doc partial) ------------------------- clojure.core/partial ([f arg1] [f arg1 arg2] [f arg1 arg2 arg3] [f arg1 arg2 arg3 & more]) Takes a function f and fewer than the normal arguments to f, and returns a fn that takes a variable number of additional args. When called, the returned function calls f with args + additional args. It seems like "fewer than the normal arguments to f" could reasonably include 0 arguments. why not have (partial f) return f? it would be consistent with (* n) == n, (+ n) == n etc, and would help when using partial recursively. sincerely, --Robert McIntyre -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
