Automatically write a function currying function with many arguments
// Curry Recipe
func curryRecipe(n: Int) -> String {
let types = join(", ", map(1...n, { "T\($0)" }))
let returnType = join(" -> ", map(1...n, { "T\($0)" }))
let closures = join(" in ", map(1...n, { "{ t\($0)" }))
let braces = join(" ", Array(count: n, repeatedValue: "}"))
return "func curry<\(types), R>(f: (\(types)) -> R) -> \(returnType) -> R {\r" +
" return \(closures) in f(\(types.lowercaseString)) \(braces)\r}"
}
// How many ingredients in your curry?
curryRecipe(15)
// Output:
func curry<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10, T11, T12, T13, T14, T15, R>(f: (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10, T11, T12, T13, T14, T15) -> R) -> T1 -> T2 -> T3 -> T4 -> T5 -> T6 -> T7 -> T8 -> T9 -> T10 -> T11 -> T12 -> T13 -> T14 -> T15 -> R {
return { t1 in { t2 in { t3 in { t4 in { t5 in { t6 in { t7 in { t8 in { t9 in { t10 in { t11 in { t12 in { t13 in { t14 in { t15 in f(t1, t2, t3, t4, t5, t6, t7, t8, t9, t10, t11, t12, t13, t14, t15) } } } } } } } } } } } } } } }
