A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I am against language support for partials and currying. The code is less readable, there is nothing pragmatic about it and it increases the cognitive load ten-fold. Clojure/Scala have both, why not use it and leave Kotlin be?

Have you ever used currying/partials before?

The nice part about partials and currying is they are not required. They are functional idioms and the language _technically_ supports them both currently. It just happens that currently it's so verbose it is killer.

I have always found currying very useful when it is available.

so verbose? Yes, library code with a lot of generics looks not so good, but from user point of view it’s easy to use and I really don’t see a big readon to support it on language level:

Scala
```def add(x: Int)(y: Int): Int = { x + y }```

vs (with funktionale)

```val add = {x: Int, y: Int -&gt; x+ y}.curried()```

and usage

```
val addTen = add(10)_
//or
add(10)(2)
```

vs

```
val addTen = add(10)
//or
add(10)(2)
```

I do not work with Scala, maybe I just don’t know about some use cases.
