Current implementation does not curry the function, it partialy applies it.

Currying is converting a function that takes multiple arguments to a 
function that takes first argument and returns a function that takes 
the second argument and do on.

Curry ((a, b) -> c) -> a -> b -> c
Uncurry (a -> b -> c) -> (a, b) -> c
