If you're looking for this argument in a language closer to home, it's basically the opposite of your IDE's style guide:

If I write this Java:

  pair.map((a, b) -> Foo.merge(a, b));
My IDE flashes up with Lambda can be replaced with method reference and gives me

  pair.map(Foo::merge);
(TFA does not seem to be arguing against the idea of partial-function-application itself, as much as he wants languages to be explicit about using the full lambda terms and function-call-parentheses.)
