The benefits that currying provides is what makes libraries like lodash so powerful. You can create a function that has some behavior predefined, then reuse it as a transformation for upcoming values (hint: even functions are treated as values in JavaScript). lodash-fp makes use of this pattern throughout all of their code and helps you work with a whole new programming paradigm.

A good example that makes great use of this technique is the createStore function from the redux library. (Hint: There are comments in that snippet that describe some neat behavior as the function is curried)

Awhile back I was also planning to learn how the native child_process module in NodeJS works, but I kept pushing it aside. When I finally decided to get my hands dirty with it, I realized that stdout already knocked away the mysterious I had with the module. Then it was easy for me to get into tools like Ink.

When you start understanding the benefits and how working with virtual data structures is preferred over working directly with the DOM, you are already half way into understanding the modern techniques that power many of todays web applications. Some examples of such techniques are rehydration and server components.

There's no doubt about it: thinking in virtual data structures is the way to go for modern application development. This is a concept popularized in React that inspired libraries like virtual-dom to provide more ways to write performant code for web apps.
