It surprises me to no end that programming languages that promote a functional style with higher order functions do not support partial application as a part of the standard library. It covers 95% of the uses of curried procedures and gives you compiler warnings if you pass too few or too many arguments.

In scheme we have the cut macro that all self-respecting implementations provide which guarantees you zero runtime overhead.

Here's an interesting post about the challenges of currying syntax in new languages:

Why is dedicated standard library support needed, when you can recover it from tuples, single-argument functions and Hom-tensor adjunctions[0]?
