Guile 2.x/3.x provides currying definitions as a standard module (ice-9 curried-definitions). The core of it is a simple and highly portable syntax-rules macro:
(define-syntax cdefine
(syntax-rules ()
((_ (head . rest) body body* ...)
(cdefine head
(lambda rest body body* ...)))
((_ name val)
(define name val))))
Guile then exports this as define, but that's neither portable nor necessary to use it.

By naming the names they rejoiced in the complexity and specificity,
the wealth and beauty of the world, they participated in the fullness of
being. They described, they named, they told all about everything. But
they did not pray for anything. --Le Guin, The Telling
