=={{header|Ada}}==
Ada lacks explicit support for currying, or indeed just about any form of functional programming at all. However if one views generic subprograms as approximately equivalent to higher order functions, and generic packages as approximately equivalent to closures, then the desired functionality can still be achieved. The chief limitation is that separate generic support packages must exist for each arity that is to be curried.
Support package spec:
<syntaxhighlight lang="ada">generic
type Argument_1 (<>) is limited private;
type Argument_2 (<>) is limited private;
type Argument_3 (<>) is limited private;
type Return_Value (<>) is limited private;
with function Func
(A : in Argument_1;
B : in Argument_2;
C : in Argument_3)
return Return_Value;
package Curry_3 is
generic
First : in Argument_1;
package Apply_1 is
generic
Second : in Argument_2;
package Apply_2 is
function Apply_3
(Third : in Argument_3)
return Return_Value;
end Apply_2;
end Apply_1;
end Curry_3;</syntaxhighlight>
Support package body:
<syntaxhighlight lang="ada">package body Curry_3 is
package body Apply_1 is
package body Apply_2 is
function Apply_3
(Third : in Argument_3)
return Return_Value is
begin
return Func (First, Second, Third);
end Apply_3;
end Apply_2;
end Apply_1;
end Curry_3;</syntaxhighlight>
Currying a function:
<syntaxhighlight lang="ada">with Curry_3, Ada.Text_IO;
procedure Curry_Test is
function Sum
(X, Y, Z : in Integer)
return Integer is
begin
return X + Y + Z;
end Sum;
package Curried is new Curry_3
(Argument_1 => Integer,
Argument_2 => Integer,
Argument_3 => Integer,
Return_Value => Integer,
Func => Sum);
package Sum_5 is new Curried.Apply_1 (5);
package Sum_5_7 is new Sum_5.Apply_2 (7);
Result : Integer := Sum_5_7.Apply_3 (3);

Functions are not curried in VB.NET, so this entry details functions that take a function and return functions that act as if the original function were curried (i.e. each takes one parameter and returns another function that takes one parameter, with the function for which all parameters of the original function are supplied calling the original function with those arguments.

End Function
Function Curry(Of T1, T2, TResult)(func As Func(Of T1, T2, TResult)) As Func(Of T1, Func(Of T2, TResult))

====Late-binding approach====
{{libheader|.NET Core|2=>=1.0}}
or both
{{libheader|.NET Framework|2=>=4.5}}
and
{{libheader|System.Collections.Immutable|1.5.0}}
Due to VB's syntax, with indexers using parentheses, late-bound invocation expressions are compiled as invocations of the default property of the receiver. Thus, it is not possible to perform a late-bound delegate invocation. This limitation can, however, be circumvented, by declaring a type that wraps a delegate and defines a default property that invokes the delegate. Furthermore, by making this type what is essentially a discriminated union of a delegate and a result and guaranteeing that all invocations return another instance of this type, it is possible for the entire system to work with Option Strict on.

=={{header|Binary Lambda Calculus}}==
In BLC, all multi argument functions are necessarily achieved by currying, since lambda calculus functions (lambdas) are single argument. A good example is the Church numeral 2, which given a function f and an argument x, applies f twice on x: C2 = \f. (\x. f (f x)). This is written in BLC as
<pre>00 00 01 110 01 110 01</pre>
where 00 denotes lambda, 01 denotes application, and 1^n0 denotes the variable bound by the n'th enclosing lambda. Which is all there is to BCL!
=={{header|BQN}}==
All BQN functions can only take 2 arguments, signified by <code>𝕨</code> and <code>𝕩</code> in block definitions. Hence, currying is largely done with the help of combinators like Before(<code>⊸</code>) and After(<code>⟜</code>).

There are three solutions provided for this problem. The simple version is using anonymous functions as other examples of other languages do. The second solution corresponds to the definition of currying. It takes a function of a arity ''n'' and applies a given argument, returning then a function of arity ''n-1''. The solution provided uses metaprogramming facilities to create the new function. Finally, the third solution is a generalization that allows to curry any number of parameters and in a given order.

'''Solution'''
In Fōrmulæ, a function is just a named lambda expression, and a function call is just a lambda application.
The following is a simple definition of a lambda expression:
When a lambda application is called with the same number of arguments, the result is the habitual:
[[File:Fōrmulæ - Currying 02.png]]
[[File:Fōrmulæ - Currying 03.png]]
However, if a less number of parameters is applied, currying is performed. Notice that the result is another lambda expression.
[[File:Fōrmulæ - Currying 04.png]]
[[File:Fōrmulæ - Currying 05.png]]
Because the result is a lambda expression, it can be used in a lambda application, so we must get the same result:
[[File:Fōrmulæ - Currying 06.png]]

The caveat being that if the rest argument would be empty, it still requires a separate application, and multiple rest arguments cannot be curried into multiple applications, since we have to figure out the number of applications from the function signature, not the amount of arguments the user might want to send it.
<
fix = // This is a variant of the Applicative order Y combinator
f => (f => f(f))(g => f((...a) => g(g)(...a))),
Line 901 ⟶ 1,373:
print(curriedmax(8)(4),curryrestedmax(8)(4)(),curryrestedmax(8)(4)(9,7,2));
// 8,8,9
</syntaxhighlight>
Neither of these handle propagation of the this value for methods, as ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) fat arrow syntax doesn't allow for this value propagation. Versions could easily be written for those cases using an outer regular function expression and use of Function.prototype.call or Function.prototype.apply. Use of Y combinator could also be removed through use of an inner named function expression instead of the anonymous fat arrow function syntax.
Line 908 ⟶ 1,380:
In the most rudimentary form, for example for mapping a two-argument function over an array:
<
// curry :: ((a, b) -> c) -> a -> b -> c
Line 934 ⟶ 1,406:
// [7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70]
})();</

<
Or, recursively currying functions of arbitrary arity:
<
// (arbitrary arity to fully curried)
Line 970 ⟶ 1,442:

In jq, functions are filters. Accordingly, we illustrate currying by defining plus(x) to be a filter that adds x to its input, and then define plus5 as plus(5):
<
def plus(x): . + x;
def plus5: plus(5);
</syntaxhighlight>
We can now use plus5 as a filter, e.g.<syntaxhighlight lang

===Nested defs and functools.partial===
Since Python has had local functions with closures since around 1.0, it's always been possible to create curried functions manually:
<
def adder(x):
return x + n
return adder</
<
>>> add2
<function adder at 0x009F1E30>
>>> add2(7)
9</
But Python also comes with a function to build partial functions (with any number of positional or keyword arguments bound in) for you. This was originally in a third-party model called functional, but was added to the stdlib functools module in 2.5. Every year or so, someone suggests either moving it into builtins because it's so useful or removing it from the stdlib entirely because it's so easy to write yourself, but it's been in the functools module since 2.5 and will probably always be there.
<
>>> from operator import add
>>> add2 = partial(add, 2)
Line 1,532 ⟶ 2,028:
>>> double = partial(map, lambda x: x*2)
>>> print(*double(range(5)))
0 2 4 6 8</
But for a true curried function that can take arguments one at a time via normal function calls, you have to do a bit of wrapper work to build a callable object that defers to partial until all of the arguments are available. Because of the Python's dynamic nature and flexible calling syntax, there's no way to do this in a way that works for every conceivable valid function, but there are a variety of ways that work for different large subsets. Or just use a third-party library like [https://toolz.readthedocs.io toolz] that's already done it for you:
<
>>> import operator
>>> add = curry(operator.add)
Line 1,547 ⟶ 2,043:
>>> double = map(lambda x: x*2)
>>> print(*double(range(5)))
0 2 4 6 8</

Quackery does not have a currying function, but one is easily defined.
The word <code>curried</code> in the definition below curries the word following it, (which should act on two arguments on the stack), with the argument on the top of the stack. In the shell dialogue in the '''output:''' section the word <code>+</code> is combined with the number <code>5</code> on the top of stack to create the curried lambda nest <code>[ ' 5 + ]</code> which will add 5 the number on the top of stack when it is evaluated with <code>do</code>.
In the second example we drop the 8 from the previous example from the stack and then use currying to join "lamb" to "balti".

RPL has not been designed as a functional programming language, but appropriate words can be created so that it becomes almost one.
For RPL, all programs are functions that can take arguments (or not) from the stack. Programs can easily be converted into strings: it is then possible to have a program rewrite another one, in order to insert the desired argument in the code, thus avoiding to pick it in the stack.

Let's demonstrate the curryfication on the following function :
≪ SQ SWAP SQ SWAP - ≫
which calculates <code>x² - y²</code> on x and y passed as arguments resp. in levels 2 and 1 of the stack. The following sequence of instructions:
5 ≪ SQ SWAP SQ SWAP - ≫ '''CURRX''' 'D2SQY' STO
returns a curryfied program stored as the word <code>D2SQY</code>. We can then check it works as planned:
'Y' D2SQY
will return
1: '25-SQ(Y)'
Similarly:
5 ≪ SQ SWAP SQ SWAP - ≫ '''CURRY''' 'D2SQX' STO
will return a new program named <code>D2SQX</code>, which effect on the 'X' argument at stack level 1 will be:
1: 'SQ(X)-25'
It is also possible to pass the reference to the function to be curryfied, rather than the function itself. if <code>≪ SQ SWAP SQ SWAP - ≫</code> is stored as <code>D2SQ</code>, the following command line will have the same effect as above:
5 'D2SQ' '''CURRY''' 'D2SQX' STO
=={{header|Ruby}}==
The curry method was added in Ruby 1.9.1. It takes an optional arity argument, which determines the number of arguments to be passed to the proc.
If that number is not reached, the curry method returns a new curried method for the rest of the arguments. (Examples taken from the documentation).

The type of <code>addnums</code> above will be <tt>int -> int -> int</tt> (the type constraint in the declaration only being necessary because of the polymorphic nature of the <code>+</code> operator).

You can also define a general currying higher-ordered function:
<
(* Type signature: ('a * 'b -> 'c) -> 'a -> 'b -> 'c *)</
This is a function that takes a function as a parameter and returns a function that takes one of the parameters and returns ''another'' function that takes the other parameter and returns the result of applying the parameter function to the pair of arguments.

You can return a closure (or nested function):
<
var add2 = addN(2)
println(add2) // (Function)
println(add2(7)) // 9</
Prior to Swift 3, there was a curried function definition syntax:
<
var add2 = addN(2)
println(add2) // (Function)
println(add2(x:7)) // 9</
However, there was a bug in the above syntax which forces the second parameter to always be labeled. As of Swift 1.2, you could explicitly make the second parameter not labeled:
<
var add2 = addN(2)
println(add2) // (Function)
println(add2(7)) // 9</
=={{header|Tcl}}==
The simplest way to do currying in Tcl is via an interpreter alias:
<
puts [addone 6]; # => 7</
Tcl doesn't support automatic creation of curried functions though; the general variadic nature of a large proportion of Tcl commands makes that impractical.

A two-argument function which subtracts is arguments from 10, and then subtracts five:

TXR Lisp doesn't have a predefined function or operator for currying. A function can be manually curried. For instance, the three-argument named function: <code>(defun f (x y z) (* (+ x y) z))</code> can be curried by hand to produce a function <code>g</code> like this:
<
(lambda (y)
(lambda (z)
(* (+ x y) z))))</
Or, by referring to the definition of <code>f</code>:
<
(lambda (y)
(lambda (z)
(f x y z))))</
Since a three-argument function can be defined directly, and has advantages like diagnosing incorrect calls which pass fewer than three or more than three arguments, currying is not useful in this language. Similar reasoning applies as given in the "Why not real currying/uncurrying?" paragraph under the Design Rationale of Scheme's SRFI 26.

The <code>\</code> operator takes a function and an argument and partial applies the argument to the function. The <code>&\</code> works like the <code>\</code> operator but can also take an array literal and partial applies all the arguments in the array.

The BIOS call <code>&BB75</code> takes HL as input (as if it were an x,y coordinate pair) and outputs a video memory address into HL. Using a fixed input of HL=0x0101 we can effectively reset the drawing cursor to the top left corner of the screen.

zkl doesn't support currying per se (recompilation of f with fixed input to create a new function), it does support partial application, for all objects, for any [number of] positional parameters to create an object of reduced arity.
