I applaud your efforts, but that is a lot of work against the grain. I've yet to see a curried function in the wild outside of a handful of anonymous functions passed as HoFs.

Cheers, I have no dog in this game, merely expanding on what (I think) OP was alluding to.

It's definitely against the grain but also not really a lot of work. The currying function is ~3-4 lines. The macros are 5-10 lines each. As for examples of such things being used "in the wild", many use Witchcraft library which strives to give a Haskell-like experience to Elixir.

Yep, I have no dogs here either :^)
