Great article! I had a similar revelation with Lisp and Clojure. Writing in a language you enjoy using and are very productive in (effort->effect) is really liberating. The great thing is even when I have to return to the old ways (Java) Clojure's java interop makes writing the Java a lot more manageable, almost fun. I don't know whether it's the functional paradigm, the dynamic typing (I didn't have the same revelation with Ruby/JS), immutable collection by default, the minimal lisp syntax, etc. It just feels right.
