Talk:Partial function application: Difference between revisions
→Current task description is a bit odd: re
Line 315:
:::: Well yes, partial application is a programming language concept, not an algorithm or design pattern. But it can be "done" a number of languages. —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 17:54, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
::: Using common sense and discussion? I don't think the task should be overspecified either. For example, specifying that you have to define a function similar to Python's <code>partial</code> would rule out ML's and Haskell's implicit partial application or perhaps a clever, but reasonable, trick involving C's preprocessor or C++'s templates. On the other hand, the current Java implementation might follow the the task to the letter, but certainly violates the spirit as it's not applicable to idiomatically defined functions from the standard library. —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 17:54, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
