I know, right? I honestly have no idea how the heck did I even code before in non-lispy languages. I imagine if I had to pair-program with someone today it would go like: "hey, how do I grab this part of the function quickly, so I can move it out?"... "Wait, what? I have to manually select it, there's no quick way of doing that with a single keystroke? Oh, I can use this 'powerful refactoring' feature of the IDE? Huh... and it only works for this specific language, there's nothing for a different one? Got it, okay... daaaarn... and I thought the coding supposed to be the easy part of programming..."
