As I mentioned in my other comment, they do have partial application with _, and it works like a charm for piping! It's automatic currying which is absent.

And that's fine, because currying forces you into impossible tradeoffs when choosing argument order.

But Haskell has nice little functions for switching argument order, and people can easily make them in other currying languages.
