"partially applied functions to other functions" - In C# you do this anyway via Fluent interfaces and/or lambda Func<_> arguments. The only difference is in F# any function can be made into a fluent style pipeline (|> operator) due to this partial application whereas in C# the function has to be built specifically for it. Partial application for me is one of the reasons F# code tends to be nicer than C#/Java code there's less need for things like DI containers, and other big frameworks each with their own learning curve and corner cases. It feels more like I'm coding in a static version of JS/Python once you get used to it vs C#/Java which have a lot of ceremony - expect that type inference you mention means those partially completed functions are much less likely to be used wrong.
