Wow, a language that actually allows you to build such complex abstractions without getting lost in them, runs them fast enough, and gives you tools to debug them. That's... COOL! It makes me a bit sad I spend my workdays in dynamic languages where sometimes the framework/runtime "swallows" any meaningful stack trace when some "magic code" gets called and you revert to stone-age print/log debugging...
Now, about the people that went on on to actually pile so many things on top of each other, just because they knew the language and tools were strong enough to let them do this up to a point... nothing good to be said.
But I've personally grown to admire languages and tools that give you enough high quality rope to hang yourself properly and thoroughly :) In the end, you can never blame the rope for the idiot hanged with it...
