I wrote my own functional, Haskell-like, language, and after a couple of years and seeing a couple more code bases in various languages, I am now starting to firmly believe that currying should be strictly avoided (or at least highly discouraged). Obscure symbol operators with operator precedence are also a clear readability problem. But unlike what this article suggests, these traits are not essential to functional programming. As long as you stick to functions which given values return other values, and your language has support for passing functions to other functions as well, you can reap most of the benefits of functional programming.
