I think a lot of the functional programming vocabulary can be scary or confusing to newcomers, so I'm a huge fan of this kind of writeup. It also showcases the exact benefits of certain things, like currying. When you first see an example of partial application / currying it's not obvious why it's useful. But once you start using it, it's hard not to get hooked into the more declarative code style.
