Define shorthand for mori.curry(mori.get, "key")

Another option, cribbed from https://github.com/raganwald/allong.es#getwith might be

m.get_with("name")

Why not just construct keywords?

[glenjamin]

Keywords as getters are nice and short, but they're quite verbose in assoc, get_in, and hash_map.

[swannodette]

@glenjamin I recommend just constructing keywords once which will be more efficient anyhow.

var keywordTable = function(xs) {
  var ret = {};
  for(var i = 0; i < xs.length; i++) {
    ret[xs[i]] = m.keyword(xs[i]);
  }
  return ret;
};
var k = keywordTable("name0", "name1", "name2");

m.get_in(someMap, [k.name0, k.name1, k.name2]);

Most programs don't have that many keywords so I think is a fine approach.

[glenjamin]

Interesting approach, I was just thinking i might be better with the opposite approach: defining the curried getters up-front at the top level.

Either way, I no longer think the original suggestion is worthwhile.

I don't see how that function would work. xs is just "name0", the rest of the arguments are not even used.

And I also have this question, that I would like to partially apply the key I am looking for to get, but the ordering of the arguments is just wrong.
