Line 44:

print "done"

===[[Currying]]===

plusX = { a as int | return { b as int | return a + b <nowiki>}}</nowiki>

print plusX(3)(4)

In English: "plusX is a function taking integer a, which returns another function taking integer b that returns a+b."

Edit: This isn't currying. This is just a function that returns a function. Currying would be something like:

def add(a as int, b as int):

return a + b

add_two = add(2)

Then, add_two would be a partially applied add, with a=2.

add_two(5)

Would set b=5, call the function, and return 7.

Which Boo cannot do.
