I like my chicken like my functions of multiple arguments: curried. - Michael Snoyman

curry

Function curring for Go.

Usage

1. Install go get github.com/maxsz/curry
2. Add //go:generate curry as a first line of any go file within a project.
3. Run go generate before go build
4. Use generated curried versions of any functions in your code. Example:

// Example function definition
func example(first, second string) { return first + " " + second }

// Use generated, curried version of the function
hello := exampleC("hello")
hello("world")

Motivation

Although I really like go, I think it's biggest draw-back is the missing generics support. I wanted to explore and learn about the go type system and code generation tools and how they could help mitigate the missing generics support. This is what came out of it.
