💻 Code

declare function call<T>(fn: (a: string, b: T) => unknown): (b: T) => unknown;

declare function fn<Args extends any[]>(
  fn: (...args: Args) => unknown,
): (...args: Args) => unknown;

const result = call(fn(function (a, b: number) {}));

🙁 Actual behavior

The a parameter's type is any.

🙂 Expected behavior

The a paramater's type should be string

Additional information about the issue

I encountered this while trying to create a helper function in a codebase that uses Effect:

import { Effect } from "effect"

function call<A, E, R, T = void>(fn: (a: string, b: T) => Effect.Effect<A, E, R>) {
  return (b: T) => fn("value", b)
}

const fnA = call((a, b: number) => // a is `string`
  Effect.gen(function* () {
    return yield* Effect.succeed(`${a}: ${b}`)
  }),
)

const fnB = call(
  Effect.fn(function* (a, b: number) { // a is `any`?
    return yield* Effect.succeed(`${a}: ${b}`)
  }),
)
