Currying is weird, it completely changes how you handle functions. It allows some incredibly powerful concepts to be expressed unambiguously with little syntax. However I certainly agree that the lack of obvious markers for what a function call involves is painful. (For instance `$` is nonsensical in a C-like language but very useful in Haskell)

Actually, $ would sort-of make sense in C, if you have otherwise nested calls.

  So you mean like Haskell's `.`? That would be interesting.

    Expressing Haskell's (.) in C is much, much harder. ($) is almost trivial.
