How is currying better than partial function application (particularly with keyword arguments)? If your function isn't commutative, then it seems to give greater importance/flexibility to the first arguments.
As usual, the terms are misused.
Any discussion of currying vs partial function application needs to start by explicitly stating what the author intends each to mean.
Fair enough, but is currying "better" than partial function creation in some way?
