Challenges and limitations
After studying currying and partial application, Steve couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed. He reached out to Julia to voice his apprehensions.
Steve: Julia, while I see the potential of these techniques, I’m worried about the increased complexity and potential performance issues. How do you manage those challenges in your projects?
Julia: Those are valid points, Steve. It’s true that currying and partial application have their challenges and limitations. The following are some examples:
- Increased complexity: For developers unfamiliar with functional programming, currying and partial application can make the code seem more complex and harder to understand, leading to a steeper learning curve.
- Performance overheads: Every function call in .NET involves a certain overhead, and currying increases the number of function calls by transforming a single multi-parameter function into multiple single-parameter functions...
