If this article is a homage to the famous "Why Functional Programming Matters" paper, I think it failed in a major way. The Why FP Programming Matters paper began each section with practical programming problems that FP solved elegantly. It built up the solutions piece by piece and showed at each step, how easy they were to comprehend, extend, and abstract.
The FP paper is very effective in making people who are hard core imperative programmers want to try FP. But the CP article here doesn't really IMHO elicit the same desire.
You should try writing another one with some practical examples.
