gollark: Also, you can get a function's arity in Python with`function.__code__.co_argcount`, though that is probably non-idiomatic.
gollark: No clue.
gollark: e.g.```haskellfunction a b = a + b-- expands tofunction = \a -> \b -> a + b````function 1` returns a function with 1 "captured" in a closure or whatever, which will then take the next argument and finally evaluate itself.
gollark: Multiparameter functions actually just return a function which takes another value when fed an argument.
gollark: Does your thing have currying?
