What is the advantage of currying?

I guess there are no guarantees. Which ones are you thinking of in Haskell? There it seems to matter more.

I always seem to struggle with array/list indexing functions.

Like these?

  > let lst = [1,2,3]
  > lst!!0
  1
  > lst!!1
  2
  > let arr = listArray (0,2) [1,2,3]
  > arr!0
  1
  > arr!2
  2

I don't see how it would be particularly helpful to have the arguments to the indexing functions the other way around, but in case you really like the index coming before the list/array, you can always do

  > (!0) arr
  1
  > (!!1) lst
  2
