This document discusses function currying as a way to refactor code to make it more concise and easier to maintain. It explains that function currying combines a function with variables to create a new function, with the variables captured by closure scope. An example is given of refactoring asynchronous REST service code using two levels of function currying to make the code more DRY and less verbose.

Outer variables are accessed via closure scope by inner Function
