I found this article very useful, and helpful in de-mystifying the world of functional programming. Are there other articles that cover functional programming theory in plain words like this?

Glad you asked! I did this in about 7 minutes, but I could spend a week talking about how lispers, ML, clojure scala and haskell approach this. http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/qxmh3/what_are_some...

I'll add an additional question to this one: are there any good sources of small, "real world" app examples available? I realize I could look at, say, the HN codebase, but I'm curious if there are smaller examples available, too.
