Cory Hudson sees callbacks as benefiting from currying JavaScript functions, and defines currying as turning a function with two arguments into a function with one argument that returns a function of one argument. He starts off with two functions and shows how to combine them into one curried function, and also builds a generic version. He shows a good usage of a curried function in an array map() function, which is similar to Prototype's bind().
