I think you're missing the point - 90% of all Perl programmers will never know that you can take a reference to a subroutine. To them, currying is a very advanced technique.

If you apply Sturgeon's law, 90% of all Perl programmers are crud. Coincidence? You decide!

More seriously I'd estimate that over 50% of all Perl programmers have vague plans to learn something about this OO stuff sometime, so to them OO is an advanced technique. It is all a question of perspective. And if you personally are willing to put some energy in, your perspective bears no relationship to what most people experience.

My perspective is that currying is pretty simple, and it isn't even very hard to teach. Sure, showing a realistic example induces brain lock the first time. But that is temporary and clears up on its own. Since I have no problem taking the energy to spread the knowledge, I have no problem with using it in reasonable doses.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
