[Haskell-cafe] currying vs partial application

[Steve Downey]

I think I finally have it.
Partial application is taking a function of N parameters, binding a
value to one of them, and turning it into a function of N-1
parameters.
Currying is where ask is that a function that takes two ints and
returns an int, or is that a function that takes one int and returns a
function that takes an int and returns an int, and the answer is yes.

Currying implies partial application, but not all partial application
is currying.
