Since Java is always uncurried, we often use constructor arguments to work around it or a factory.

Then, every use of the object has the constructor arguments applied.

Foo foo = new Foo("foo");
foo.method("bar"); // method uses the value "foo" by accessing a field            
          

Consider a trivial example Encoder -> String -> byte[].

Encoder e = new Encoder("UTF-8");
byte[] encoded = e.encode(contents); // has UTF-8 applied.
