Hello, I think that the book Functional patterns in Scala and Clojure has a lot of snippets, which can attract many programmers.
http://www.amazon.com/Functional-Programming-Patterns-Scala-Clojure/dp/1937785475/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397814912&sr=8-1&keywords=functional+programming+patterns That book is written in similar style like GoF Design Patterns which is a bit different than mini-cookbook you sent. But I think that the snippets in the mini-cookbook you sent should not be put to public like "this is the way how to do it". They should be put to some library rather than copy-pasting to the every other program. I have only 5 years of commercial experience in programming, but IMHO small code-snippets like that you sent can not persuade someone to change language except some small/toy projects.
