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.

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 :)

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.

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?

Wow! It's almost like a bigfoot sighting or UFO encounter (except this time we DIDN'T get probed)! You know, they are going to read these posts and IMMEDIATELY take down that page. Everyone, QUICK!!! Save that HTML to your local machine. That way we have proof!! hehehehe :laugh:

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