Is it possible to define hoisted curried functions in Livescript?


How do you define a curried function with the function keyword in Livescript?

More succinctly, how can I get this

function curry (arg1, arg2)
  do-something arg1, arg2

To act like this

curry = (arg1, arg2) -->
  do-something arg1, arg2

Solution

  • You can't, and the way curried functions are created in LiveScript currently, it would not be possible to.

    Curried functions are created using the curry$ helper function. We can't call this helper function on a function declaration, because it is a declaration not an expression.
