As they say, "this". The alternative syntax will lead to people never
learning about partial application.
Does your own language curry multiple arguments by default like Ocaml
does? If yes, then (IMO) your choice is a mistake, in spite of the
(good) arguments you give for it.
I would be more tolerant about such syntax in a SML-like language where
multiple arguments are modelled with tuples in most cases.
