Curry (Haskell Curry)
Haskell Curry was a logician and mathematician known for his work in combinatory logic and the foundations of computer science. His name is associated with “currying,” a process in programming where a function with multiple arguments is transformed into a sequence of functions, each taking a single argument. This allows functions to be specialized and easier to compose. Think of it like breaking down a multi-step task into smaller, sequential steps that can be reused and combined more flexibly, enhancing modularity and code reuse in functional programming languages.
