Yeah, it took me a minute to remember where the switch was.

I'm middle-aged. My switch atrophied and fell off years ago.

Maybe we should have a new rule for posting in the Lounge, as in all posts should be sarcastic?

That's an utterly brillant idea.
You know, every time I tried to win a bar-bet about being able to count to 1000 using my fingers I always got punched out when I reached 4.... -- El Corazon

That's exactly my reaction. I was thinking "hang on - this actually looks really good. Why is he dissing it". Then I turned off auto-sarcasm and it became clear.
cheers, Chris Maunder

Basically it lets you make curried functions (functions with 1 free variable). So imagine you have foo(a,b). Now you can say bar(b) = foo(1,b). And call bar(x), and foo(1,x) gets executed.

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4 out now (27 May 2008)Not sure what you're trying to do with it again but I think people are doing that without explicit CreateDelegate (should be "new delegate" construct generated by compiler) or whatever it was along the shorthand lines of: public static Func< T, Func<U, Z>> Curry<T, U, Z>(Func<T, U, Z> fn) { return new Func<Func<T, U, Z>, Func<T, Func<U, Z>>>( f => x => y => f(x, y))(fn); } if that makes any sense. Probably not what you want but you can split it up and use extension methods. It doesn't look good to me, because it is pure C# unreadable :)

OK was that sarcasm? :)
The only thing unpredictable about me is just how predictable I'm going to be.

That's the part I didn't get. :) I've become so accustomed to the incredibly poor quality of documentation coming from MS these days that I just assumed it was a well deserved snarky commentary. Quality documentation from MSDN - who knew?
