Then don't use it. Not all functional programs force you to use currying and anonymous functions. I'm a functional programmer and I agree that passing around functions as first class can get kind of messy. Don't do it. Data is data and functions are functions, pass data into the pipeline not functions. But if you pass an object into a pipeline (which OOP forces you to do) it's 10x worse. Keep in mind that in OOP is essentially Forced currying. A method that returns an object full of other methods is identical to currying except that method isn't returning a single function... It's returning a group of functions that all rely on shared state... way more complicated.
